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