This should be "Lamb in Donkeys Clothing" rather than "al Lamb in Donkeys 
Clothing".  *odd look*  The bot hasn't done that in quite a while.

Subject: acka: Pedestal of  Ping

I was tidying up my house this morning and nearly tripped over something.
When I looked to see what it was I saw something that had uncanny
resemblance to the pedestal of ping. 
Blimey, why it is the pedestal of ping, I've been looking for that.

I am transferring the pedestal of ping to breadbox.

Somehow in my haste leaving snowgod's party, I forgot to give him the Big
Ole Jug of Wine.  I do that now, pending his ack.

Subject: Acka: P1752-1755

Acrobot reported that I did not vote on Proposals 1752 through 1755,
although I have a receipt from Acrobot stating that I did vote, and
before the proposal deadlines.

My votes were as follows:

yes on 1752 not changing its rejection
yes on 1753 not changing its acceptance
yes on 1754 not changing its rejection
yes on 1755 not changing its rejection

I can provide copy of the receipt, if necessary, showing that 
Acrobot responded to my vote submission before the deadlines.

Subject: Re: Acka:  Bot

While I was testing Acrobot's new crash routine, I managed to cause it to 
send receipts to five players for seven messages and then crash, without 
saving the changes.

I didn't realize what had happened.  Anyway, I've rolled the bot state 
back a day or so and will run those seven messages back through the bot.

My apologies to the players involved and also, particularly, to the
scorekeeper.  The good news is that from here on out, a bot crash will be
much less likely to cause the results to be inaccurate.

  down, so you could see all the dozens of files I store in the acka HTML
  directory, including some with permissions turned off to ensure nobody
  can see them by accident.  There were 6 attempts to look at the realtruth,
  5 from beetle.honors.uiuc.edu and one from calvino.alaska.net. ;-)

Thank you, Niccolo Flychuck. I ack this.

breadbox +Pedestal of *ping*
Niccolo -Pedestal of *ping*

I place the Machine That Goes *ping* upon the Pedestal of *ping*. At
once the flashing lights seems to settle into a new pattern. I think I
can hear a soft, low hum coming from it that I didn't hear before.
It's very interesting, and I would write more, but I'm feeling awfully
tired at the moment.
