Well, what if it turns out your really a 'borg instead????

Not too conversant with Borgs, but don't they know they are Borgs?
I have no such knowledge, so I'm probably ok on that.
I do get "signals" sometimes, but attribute those to Larry not
properly modulating his transmissions. Can't be sure they are coming
from Larry, but since "Mercedes" and "fry oil" are often detectable
in the transmissions, it's a good bet.
Then again, maybe I'm just confusing "signals" with actual usenet
posts. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.
