[I have taken the liberty of deleting "speaker@leg.state.vt.us"  and
"villuzzi@leg.state.vt.us" from the cc: list, as I think cross-pollinating
our list with state asssembly houses is even worse than being "assimilated"
by wwwbuyinfo and e$-list.]

07:20 in the +0100 timezone is of course 22:20 of the previous day
(Saturday) in the -0800 time zone.

The reply by Spero was sent

Looks harmless to me.

However, there is increasing evidence the intelligence agencies have
managed to open up a portal in time, using the tachyonic devices being
manufactured by Tachytronx, of Woodland Hills.

These time portals are used by Science Applications to launder money back
to eras in which it was needed.

One of the major remailers is located on a system called "Portal," which
ought to be enough to convince anyone in these paranoic times.
