Nothing at all. It is just fun to follow such a fine mailing list where
wines, Freud and QED/QCD can be so easily mixed up with muLinux and
pointers.

And, hoping to start a new thread, I'd like to ask your
opinion/interpretation of this cryptic mail I have just received:

which, for the non-italian speaking part of the list, means more or less:

"On day 15 of the current month, starting at 11 a.m., dr. ....
will give a talk about

"Preservation of the U.S. Constitution; a Challenge for Metrology and
Vacuum Technique"

in the meeting room of the Dinamometric Dept.
Hoping to meet you at this event, I send you my best wishes

Maybe the US residents might shed some light about the possible
connections between the US constitution and vacuum techniques.
Or maybe an expert on Freud's work might help.

Have a nice weekend
