For most of one day, this node did not exist: viz., a revelation from the
listserv- "Host emuvm1 UNKNOWN". The listserv is omniscient; host emuvm1
is unknown to the listserv; therefore, host emuvm1 does not exist and
don't try to dispute it because it's quod erat demonstratum.  I used to
think that sort of thing was funny; oh yeah.  I could tinker around with
the fabric of reality down in my basement workshop all day and come up
only for the occasional refill on the Johnny Walker, but the thing about
it is, it makes people really nervous.  We have a large stockpile of very
serious munitions here, and if I don't know how to use them that trigger-
happy bastard down the hall does and don't you ever doubt he will.  Our
position is not the same as it was but that doesn't mean we plan to roll
over and play catamite for every aspiring hegemon down the pipe.  Tread
softly.
