Shhhhh...! For Cris' sake, don't WARN the Ubuntu crowd. Just let Karl
get all nice, warm and cozy there. Let him move in, unpack his bags, and
settle into his bunker.
* LATE BREAKING NEWS *
In interviews with residents in the Ubuntu neighborhood, they said this
to the Brain Police, "Well, Karl was just this guy, ya know? He seemed
quiet enough and kept to himself ...at first. We had no idea. It was
just like a drive-by shooting, we were caught so unaware!"
It was a four-alarm flame-war that broke out in the quiet neighborhood,
that stunned residents and list-administrators alike, in this once
peaceful area. According to the Jack-Boots and the Brain Police, they
are just starting to search through the smoke and ashes to determine the
exact cause of the blaze.
Yet many of them are already reporting difficulty thinking clearly while
going through the wreckage, due to massive confusion inhalation. It is
reported that CRM-114 Discriminators are being brought to the scene, by
the NSA. Back to you, Chris...
