merry christmas 2005!

the bad news is that distributed proofreaders
got no present in their stocking this year...       :+(

the good news is that they didn't get
a lump of coal like they did last year...         :+)

the surprising news is that michael hart
-- for the first year in anyone's memory --
got no present.  some people speculate
that google stole michael's present, but
perhaps he just wasn't as good this year
as he has been in previous years?

maybe saint nicholas just skipped over
the p.g./d.p. houses this year...

but i'm sure he'll be back next year!  happy 2006!
