I may be off on the year, but I heard it directly from this man.

Reformers will always be with us.
What rags me is they never reform
and only make trouble. They think
they can fix things by telling
others what to do.

As Ilan will happily point out, it would be a violation
of European employment law to deny anyone the right
to engage in work stoppages, which are a fundamental
human right under the French constitution.
So although one may be pensioned off, one is still
not "retired" per se.

Definitely using it, but completely transparent. The router sets up a
tunnel, computer has both ipv4 and ipv6 address. My ISP is fairly
forward-thinking in these matters, also offers native ipv6 on the same
ADSL line but I would need a new modem for that.
Originally set it up because of free binary usenet downloading from ipv6
enabled servers at Xsnews and Xs4all, from outside their network. I'm
back at Xs4all as my ISP so wouldn't necessarily need it anymore but the
one from Xsnews has far longer retention. (Unfortunately you need a
login which they don't give away for free anymore, it seems.)
Excuse the fuck out of me, asshat.

SPORTS PEOPLE; Drug Report Assailed
Published: November 13, 1987
Jeannie Longo of France, who holds more than 10 world records in
cycling, had never tested positive in drug tests in nine years of
competition until traces of ephedrine were found in her system after
she won a 3-kilometer race in September at Colorado Springs. ''I'm the
most sane athlete about drugs, amphetamines,'' she said yesterday in
Grenoble, France, after the drug report from the American Cycling
Federation was received by the French Cycling Federation and made
public. ''I have never wanted to touch forbidden products,'' Longo
said. ''I will not accept a suspension because a suspension for me is
a condemnation.'' Longo said that the source of the minute quantities
of ephedrine came from taking exosuline as part of her program of
phytotherapy, an herbal medicine treatment popular in France. She
faces a possible suspension of up to six months, which might threaten
her chances of winning a berth on the French Olympic team.
For her part [in the 1988 Olympic road race], Longo wasn't talking.
But she was furious when the U.S. Cycling Federation disallowed her 3-
km velodrome world record, set in November in Colorado Springs,
because traces of ephedrine, a stimulant, were found in her system.
She accused the Americans of trying to "destabilize" her before the
Olympics and vowed not to race again in the U.S. until Dr. Robert Voy,
the U.S.O.C.'s chief medical officer, who supervises drug testing for
the Cycling Federation, is removed.

You know what? I hope they suspend her for two
years and she comes back and wins races after the
suspension is up, just to piss off the FFC and everybody
arguing about her Fucking Ephedrine test in Fucking 1986.
You know she could, too.

It was part of our master plan to send the whole of rbr to sleep.

Well, we've seen how she rides when she's not mad. It would be a
fearsome thing to see her ride with a grudge. She'd rip off
everybody's legs and hit them with the wet end.
R
Bots never sleep.
But Win doze.
