Good ${greeting_time}, Nicholas!

So why the buggy software wasn't properly isolated from other parts of the 
network then?

If you grep the nodelist for my name, you'd find two nodes - one with Hub 
prefix, other with Pvt. The latter is mostly used for Husky FTN software 
development (esp. hpt), so I know what does "tosser gone mad" mean.

But: only I know that, not my links or anyone else, because my hub system 
properly firewalls messages from such "untrusted" link.

This looks trivial when you read about it, but I really wonder why all people 
around don't even think of that.
