We, your friends and archivists, wish you to know: This message was
originally transmitted over QEC via the anonymous resender
satellite named "anon.penet.fi" by its unknown maintainers. While
previous such messages have been archived under that satellite's
own channel, it is lately the sense of the meeting that relevant
messages, where possible, be included alongside the events in whose
context they may best be understood. Thus do we present this
message here.

As with all messages from "anon.penet.fi", no headers or other
metadata were provided in the original transmission. While
additional information has since become available, we feel that to
include it here would betray the spirit of our project. Accordingly,
we present this message, and will present future such messages,
verbatim as originally transmitted.
