  24 ;;; Commentary:
  25
  26 ;; Steve Strassmann <straz@media-lab.media.mit.edu> didn't write
  27 ;; this, and even if he did, he really didn't mean for you to use it
  28 ;; in an anarchistic way.
  29 ;;
  30 ;; To use this:
  31 ;;  Just before sending mail, do M-x spook.
  32 ;;  A number of phrases will be inserted into your buffer, to help
  33 ;;  give your message that extra bit of attractiveness for automated
  34 ;;  keyword scanners.  Help defeat the NSA trunk trawler!
