You know, Ben Franklin was a remarkable guy.  Set up postal service in a new
country, and negotiated a world-wide postal union that delivers mail even
between countries that won't even talk to each other, discovered a ton of
useful stuff, and even was slightly witty.

I wonder what he would think of the AUP?
