    Notes
    =====

        - A line in the body of a post is considered to be original if it
          does *not* match the regular expression /^\s{0,3}(?:>|:|\S+>|\+\+|\|\s+|\*\s)/.
        - All text after the last cut line (/^-- $/) in the body is
          considered to be the author's signature.
        - The scanner prefers the Reply-To: header over the From: header
          in determining the "real" e-mail address and name.
        - Original Content Rating is the ratio of the original content volume
          to the total body volume.
        - Please send all comments to Christopher Browne <cbbrowne@acm.org>
