Many years ago, before I used Gentoo, it was claimed, and likely true, that Govt types were reading our emails looking for key words. Well, as a joke some of us gave them something to read. We put all the keywords in emails with white letters and a white background. A person reading our emails wouldn't see it but it was there, triggering those Govt types into crazy land. It was like a signature but invisible. This was before Facebook or even myspace if I recall correctly. Given we know now that the Govt types read our emails, maybe we should all do that again. If enough of us do it, it would make things more fun for us and difficult for them. ROFL Since the OP has yet to respond, I guess they think the email is funny. Thing is, I responded to try and help them, like us Gentoo folks tend to do, so I guess the joke is on them not us. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
