[ale] Introduction and info about myself

[Rich Faulkner]

....err Jim.  I think commies are generally considered "left" wing while
gun toting NRA lifer's are considered "right" wing.  [but of course you
meant to say that didn't you?]

Unless of course you use reverse Polish notation; then it may be
different.  Dunno.  I missed reading that man page...although I do
remember writing technical manuals in EMACS back in my days at Sequent
Computer Systems in Beaverton, Oregon.  UNIX and DYNIX was the flavor of
the day.  I do miss those old days in a way....

Wandering minds...or is it my incrementing age?  Where's Aaron when you
need him?!  

Down with the corporapists!  There's nothing GNU to see in Windows
8...back to your lives citizens...nothing to see here!!

I think I need a vacation....
