Wow, that's great! That's actually the perfect thing to do. Somehow I
was led to believe someone was writing all the LUGNET tools themselves and that
everything inside angle brackets would be invisible.

Actually, we were doing just that.  We were ready to come out in the open
with our stealth ASCII technology, but then the USAF needed some of it to
bomb someone, and we couldn't talk about it for at least until the media
stopped getting excited.

BTW, this message contains a very nasty stealth ASCII computer virus.  It
spreads itself by mailing everyone in your e-mail address book and your
phone book for good measure.  Its effect:  it'll infect everyone and their
computer and make them knuckle down and learn how to use LDraw.  Oh, and
it'll run up to $500,000 US in phone sex calls to China, and it doesn't dial
10-10-220.

So, if you get the overwhelming urge to visit www.ldraw.org or if your
computer case gets purple and splotchy, respond to this message for the
cure.
