Keywords: ridiculous reasons to get arrested

Since John Draper (a.k.a. Cap'n Crunch, well!crunch) has been arrested
on charges of counterfeiting $32 BART tickets (public transit), it looks
like it may be awhile before we see another release of EGAD.

BTW Draper got his nickname for using free whistles from boxes of
Captain Crunch cereal for "phone phreaking" in the 70's (the whistles just
happened to be the right frequency to fool the phone equipment) and was
convicted in 1976 for this activity.

EGAD is a great idea, sorry to see Draper unavailable for work on it,
especially on such a ridiculous alleged activity.
