We, your friends and archivists, wish you to know: This message was

originally transmitted over QEC via the anonymous resender

satellite named "anon.penet.fi" by its unknown maintainers. While

previous such messages have been archived under that satellite's

own channel, it is lately the sense of the meeting that relevant

messages, where possible, be included alongside the events in whose

context they may best be understood. Thus do we present this

message here.

As with all messages from "anon.penet.fi", no headers or other

metadata were provided in the original transmission. While

additional information has since become available, we feel that to

include it here would betray the spirit of our project. Accordingly,

we present this message, and will present future such messages,

verbatim as originally transmitted.
