Alan,
Below is a similarly formatted address here in NYC. It is
heirarchical, from left: Angelic CU + hir Mad-Dog Dept %
the Cruel Bastard Org @ Tel Mail Hell.
<LinetH+aFCRCCOS%[email protected]>
If your friend's CBO is like Forest City Ratner, a
Trump-wanna-be developer pack of urban rabid-rat-infestors,
then the system was probably set up by a
do-anything-for-a-fee consultant to a paranoidal CEO who
buys oddles of pseudo-technical gimmicks for corporate
obfuscation as a means to pyramidially distance hirself
from the lowly mite-interminators minimally-paid to
meta-desecrate the hiroshima-scape.
According to "LinetH," if you are to the left of a " + "
you are " - " but hyper-visible to the cyclopian, leering
"+"-sisadmin eager to catch caged animals using the sys for
private mail (hey, Bear Stearns-mogul leeches, fail yer
prostate/mammogram test, LH sez).
Or so LH quietly e-pecks in PGP, having learned not to
trust any of the hir-MFs. Shh, the "%"-admin is lurking
fearfully just left of H@L-admin.
