I'm currently inactive, and ignoring Nomicron. It moves slowly enough that
a) it is boring and b) the scam I had been hoping to perpetrate when I
joined would not succeed until after the heat death of the universe.

So I was not aware of this development. We should definitely change their
regime before this hostile Nomic inevitably uses its weapons to attack us.


Note to all Nomicron people here: The above is humor. I harbor no ill will
toward Nomicron. Please do not take me seriously, as I have no desire to
start an internomic incident. I'm sorry you have a track record of needing
disclaimers like this.
