MGR: April Fool's Day

Okay, I was seriously gonna put a patch into the Phoenyx software that 
ROT13'd all messages today (and added a link to the mhonarchives, which 
wouldn't be obfuscated) but... um... I forgot.

April 1 is, though one of the Phoenyx's anniversaries; I'm pretty sure 
it's the date (don't ask me the year, I'd have to dig for that) we got the 
phoenyx.wichita.ks.us domain, instead of being phoenyx@... uh... I can't 
remember our first provider's domain name.  The Blade Runner one.  Maybe 
somebody else will.  (Carl?  Mike?  Bueller?)

tyrell.net, but by the time we got the .us domain, we were with 
southwind.net.  I'm not sure we were doing the QWK-by-email thing on 
Tyrell.

(tyrell.net was one of the first ISP's available in Wichita (possibly the 
first regional ISP), based out of Kansas City.  The guy that ran it was 
really young... barely in his twenties.  When tyrell.net folded, he was 
charged with credit card fraud... he continued to bill customers accounts 
months after they had cancelled their service.  tyrell.net was the first 
place I had access to a Unix shell account, and it's hard to remember 
what learning Unix was like...  and I remember resisting the graphical 
web browser, because there just wasn't anything on the web worth firing 
Windows 3.1 up just to connect to the Internet.)
