Hey, Robin -- did you know you've been quoted in a sig line?

This is from John Flynn, in alt.possessive.its.has.no.apostrophe:

It's a sort of immortality, Harv. JohnF is very good at saving choice
quotes from many people, past and present, and throwing them into his sig
at opportune moments, usually in APIHNA. Since he introduced me to APIHNA
in the first place, I can't hold anything[1] against him.

[1] Such as one of those "sticky bombs" demonstrated in "Saving Private
Ryan".
