"extremists?"

[Lorenzo Prince]

LOL.  Sorry.  I should have, I guess, told everyone what I did.  I am
using the fortune program /usr/games/fortune as my signature file.  That
is just the quote that happened to come up at that time.  It picks them at
random.  You will notice that there is a different signature in this
email.  Sorry for the confusion.  I am sending a cc of this to the Speakup
list, in case anyone else may have been confused by this.  I don't
necessarily agree with every quote that comes up, but I find a lot of them
funny.
