On the contrary, I remember only too well. I imagine it's still used in
the scary devil monastery (alt.sysadmin.recovery), a place I've not
visited in a very long time. Chicken waving is a "code word" used on
that group. I could tell you what it means, but I'd have to kill you.

See http://www.faqs.org/faqs/sysadmin-recovery/ for further
illumination.

*grins* Like you, I at once realised the message contained pgp13 ;)
encoded text. 

Takes me back a couple of decades too...

It's Down... not across.
