I'd like to request an invitation to your group. I have a great many high quality files, adequate bandwith, and I promise never to do anything to harm the group.

Thanks,

So you call it konspire, eh? And this helps the P2P keiretsu allay the fears of the music industry that it's not all about ripping them off how, exactly?

You P2P guys really crack me up.

"Oh look," said the Microsoft [ mail | update | web ] client, "a rusted needle is sticking out of a pile of garbage bags!"

"Needles," it reasoned, "often contain medicine."

And, so reasoning, it jammed the rusty needle directly into its ass.
