It was a joke, folks (RE: EBScan barcodes) Max Shenk 20 Nov 2002 18:42 UTC

Pun away, Rick, and consider us your test audience...we know that they
don't all hit the target dead center!

My apologies to everyone who was alarmed by my joke about congressmen
getting in trouble for using EBScan.  It was a punning reference to
the
ABSCAM scandal (get it?  EBScan?  ABSCAM?  Ha?) of the early 1980s, and
I
thought everyone would get it.  Based on a couple of emails I've just
received, I thought wrong.  My bad; it was a lame joke.

I guess the dry autumn weather here in Reno is having an effect on my
wit,
such as it is...
