We don't recall ever talking about our role in this group. In fact, we don't even think in those terms. But you do, apparently. >> And you dislike us.

Canada has never outlawed guns, doofus. Where do you get your information from? cordially, as always, rm

And we are far more likely to confront polar bears. We think that the polar bear should be the mascont for slackware. After all, they will soon be extinct. cordially, as always, rm

But thought you > should be told that most dog teams run with two lead dogs... Is that in case the polar bears get one? We think that in Canada one lead dog is good enough because we have enough guns to keep the polar bears at bay. cordially, as always, rm
