Viestiss{ "1397@kielo.uta.fi" herra
"tensu@vehka.uta.fi" (Tero Ahtee) esitteli ihmeellisen
kaavion joka oli t{ynn{ mit{ kummallisempia lyhenteit{,
nimi{ ja vuosilukuja.

Mist{ hemmetist{ oikein oli kysymys? Toivoisin, ett{
viestit kirjoitettaisiin niin, ett{ kaikki lukijat
tiet{isiv{t noin suunnilleen mist{ puhutaan.  T{m{ on
sent{{n varsin yleinen kokous, kun aihe on laveasti
"sfnet.atk".
