Hmm, like anyone's going to believe you... Anyone can forge Larry-like email. Look how easy it is for *me* to forge email from Larry even though I'm in Japan right now. All you have to do is end most of your paragraphs with ... and throw in a few Hmms here and there.... And then there's all these checkins I've been forging from Audrey. Piece o' cake... Now, gettin' myself made up to look like Larry for the Bugs Manifesto, that was a wee bit more challenging, but I think most people were fooled...
