[NetBehaviour] IETF RFC 1437 Extension of MIME Content-Types: Sentient Life-Form Transport

[Alan Sondheim]

Good grief, at least we're Sentient! Although that my be doubtful;
we can't forget the Cloud (remember the Cloud where magic happened online 
until the deserts took over and we're living literally under (about twenty 
meters or so) our enormous burning Sun) -

I refuse to use more parenthensies (or spell-Czech for that matter) - 
everything's at a premium!

Not much fuel left here!

Best, Alan, sick of exclamations!
