marib is grasping at straws again. No one in Washington is far from
their blackberry, ever! Even back in the early '80s when I was in
Washington, I carried a keyboard with a built in 300 baud modem so that
I could keep up with my email. Noteable also is that this was the
period shortly before the firings took place. Not likely that there was
no traffic on the subject.
