And conveniently it's even getting more traction than GOSIP did.
I think there have been some federal directives to balance the budget too. Point being that a PDF of such a directive is worth the paper it is written on if people are inclined to just figure out a way around it.

Bad cess to you for that! I thought I had recycled those neurons, but it turns out I hadn't. I suppose that cautionary tales are necessary, and GOSIP certainly is one. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO mikea@mikea.ath.cx Tired old sysadmin
