Good thought :) When I put out the first version, I haven't really understood the consequences or its effectiveness; In fact it had my code name in the greeting :( When it first appeared, people found it amusing; but it quickly went out of control and kept appearing again and again. This annoyed people. I was in trouble. I had to quickly find a solution in that panic.
