Default Goodbye

I have decided that it is in my best interests to unsubscribe from a.o.l.s
and stop posting in a week's time. This is for a variety of reasons, but
chiefly as follows:

- I am finding myself with less and less time - there's far too much to do
- There are persistent untrue allegations being made in some quarters, for
example suggestions that ARMed Slack has spyware built in, that it is
blowing up computers and that I am a pantomime dame
- I have decided that the internet is more of a curse than a blessing, and
consequently, I will only be using it for a few hours a year
- We are moving house, and I've got to decide where to put all the biscuits,
cakes and saucepan handles, because otherwise, who will?

If anyone wishes to be able to contact me after the deadline, let me know
and I will, if I deem it appropriate, let you know how to do so. I am sorry
that it has come to this, but thereagain, I'm not really sorry at all.
Sorry.

Is there anybody here who has more and more time every other day?

IGNORE

Sure thing, at most 24x365.25 a year

The only acceptable reason to reduce time spent for fun but ... not
yet accepted since we haven't tried your biscuits ;-)

To conclude: you just *cannot* do this. A brief proof can be found here:

'Ben Darling', who is the guy who's impersonating me, wrote this post.

I've contacted the abuse department of the server he's using and
his ISP.

It's currently being upgraded to slackware-current (the as-yet
unreleased stuff) :-)

You're sad that a fake disappears ? Funny ;-)

Maybe you should ask the question to the real Stuart Winter,
the one that uses bourbon.biscuit.org.uk for his posts ?-D)

Ah, it seems he just posted at the same time, sorry Stuart
I should have known you wouldn't let Glyn cry for long ;-)
