[Spooks] Thank you from the Project Evil team

[Jeff Wilson]

Cool.

Were you surprised by the attention it got? Starting from one single,

multiple forums across the web, this would be a viral marketing
droid's dream come true!

Anyway, as a ham, shortwave enthusiast, network administrator and Star
Trek fan, I think your little experiment had it all (minus the
beautiful Fraulein I had envisioned in my imagination)
