Brian,
How about we punch all of our messages on to cards and post PNG images of
the cards for you die-hard types to decode and enjoy? Alternatively, we
could post messages in Motorola or Intel paper tape format - that might be
fun for you too!

It's 2003. Can't the government use some
lowercase letters for
fuck's sake?
BUT THE ALL-UPPERCASE USED IN THESE MESSAGES IS A REMNANT
FROM THE DAWN OF THE COMPUTING AND THE USE OF TELETYPES!
WHAT SORT OF CLASSIC COMPUTER HOBBYIST ARE YOU, ANYWAY!?
HEY JEFF, CAN YOU ADD A RULE TO YOUR DEMIME FILTER TO
MAKE IT SO THAT ALL OF THE MESSAGES ARE TRANSLATED INTO
UPPERCASE? WE'RE WASTING PRECIOUS BANDWIDTH WITH ALL OF
THIS BULKY 7 BIT ASCII CRAP.
DAMN KIDS THESE DAYS, WITH THEIR PANSY-ASS-KEY TERMINALS.
GET OFFA MY LAWN!
-BRIAN.
