No... the day I posted this I 'fingered' him and note 1 said crafty.  Several
now do the +alias kibitz garbage trick to disable the "hello" kibitz.  But they
don't want to do that for set as it breaks too many things.  Every program on
the above list I posted said "crafty" in note one on the day I posted it.  I
fingered each one.
