[ARC5] ARC-5 in Montgomery's personal B-17

[Michael Hanz]

Not to put too fine a point on anything written before coffee, but I'm 
also guilty of pet peeves.  I think most people do have them for one 
thing or another.

One that I've pretty much given up on is the almost ubiquitous use of  
"sent from my  __*******__" below the message.   It is easy to remove 
that tagline on any phone or laptop, and I don't really care how anyone 
sends an email, but it is a distraction with the faintest scent of 
elitism.  Sometimes I've returned otherwise serious thoughts to such 
emails with "sent from my HP Extreme Envy dual monitor 148GB RAM/4 TB 
desktop" or some other silliness below my signature, but no one seems to 
bite on that...

Then there is this list below from the research department at 
Monticello, a mere 30 minutes from our home near Charlottesville VA, a 
place we visit regularly with friends who stop by and wish to learn 
something about Thomas Jefferson.

Entry 29 of 72 appears salient.  Earliest known appearance in print: 
1891.  Old adage indeed.
