Mike,

That really is very good - I think you have hit the nail on the head - a but what 
kind of cult is it? 

I seem to remember that after the last war some rather primitive tribes on South 
Sea Islands believed that if they prepared airstrips an iron bird would descend 
from the sky at bearing a an unimaginably desirable cargo. What could the 
modern equivalent of this iron bird  be? 

Maybe it would be a posting to this mailing list bearing an unimaginably desirable 
attachment - and we all know what would be in it ... 

But what do we have to do to persuade the Great God Bobicon to send us this 
fabulous cargo? A small pile of juicy dollars new doesn't seem to have pleased 
the Great One . May be a ceremonial mass deletion of Outlook Express or a 
ritual corruption of graphics of the Great Satan BG ...
