How much do we trust Redhat? Perhaps the CRM114 discriminator decided that you were a fifth columnist fellow-traveler dirty commie red pinko stoolie, who tended to vote independent and pledged routinely to NPR. So, they specifically embargoed your ass. Social misfit! Adclick and the NSA knows all about you, your little dog, and your weakness for BBQ, too. If a man in a trench-coat offers you a pulled-pork sandwich with Cole slaw on it, in exchange for holding a plain manila envelope, you've been made. Especially if the bun was lightly toasted. You know you're weak and would sell out if some chopped pork skin was sprinkled lightly amongst the smoked pork. Admit it and it'll set you free. I know, I took the envelope too.
