Now that was a much better rationale than MooseHart's explanation
regarding 249/176 closing down.  The best thing about your message is
that you did not mention that, now that we've infiltrated FiDoeNet,

didn't mention all that because naturally there is no such plot.
Nope, no such plan at all.   ...Trust us!
