[nfbmi-talk] something all missed

[joe harcz Comcast]

By the way Terry, you didn't look closely at the Terry Eagle exclusion 
clause. For in very fine print (of course not accessible) there is also a 
Joe Harcz exclusion clause.


In invisable ink there is a general NFB exclusion clause too.

Only Mike Zimmer can decode this stuff.

Sorry to put this on the list because it's a state secret don't you know? 
Shh...Don't tell anyone...

Might scare the kiddies don't you know?
