Come to think of it maybe ASCII code was developed by the CIA 
to keep YOU people from talking over the netnews to others.
This means that you will be safely kept in your cocoon of hamburgers,
wombats, 55 mile limits (Is that the distance that you are allowed to
travel or what?), net.jokes and rotate-13.

But anyway WE should really be making or own standards:

En dan nu dus maar weer wat nederlands met daarin enkele voor de
AMERIKANEN bekenden kreten als KGB en CIA en andere zaken om ze achter
dochtig te maken. Voor diegenen die dit lezen kunnen: waneer zie ik
eens wat uit holland.
