Well, Javien Forums appears to be down. I wonder if maybe they're adding
a little feature that lets you exclude SIG FILES from the SEARCH FUNCTION,
ahem ahem.
(At Extro 5, Javien tried to demonstrate their forum software by searching
for articles containing "singularity", returning 1700 results. They then
tried to search for articles containing "singularity" written by
"yudkowsky", returning 1300 results. Big laugh.)
