Sigh.  It's true, our contact form validation is naive.  Here's the 
regex it uses:

ereg( '^[A-Za-z0-9._]+\@[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.[A-Za-z]+$', $from )

which fails if there are more than 2 domain name parts.  It also fails 
the cases listed here:

Don't know how soon I'll have time to fix it since I'm not up on php regexs.

At least he liked Jeff's talk.  The Linux history link below looks 
interesting, too.

  Your eMAIL address checker rfejected "bbrown at co.hartic.com" as my 
eMAIOL address, but it really is try it, it works.! I was at the ITEC 
conference/seminar yesterday and attended "TUX in a Suit".  Being unsure 
of what to expaect I was very much rewarded with a pleasant surprise and 
enlightening presentation.  Today while talking toa sn associate, I 
mentioned your presentation.  He subsequently sent me an email with 
http://ragib.hypermart.net/linux/
as a site having a good history of Linux.  In it I found a site talking 
about "Open Source Atttack".  Going there, 
"http://www.go2net.com/headlines/ap/technology/1035481506_science_top.html", 
I found moer re: Linux that proved to be very inter3estin and I thought 
you might share my interest?

Thanks again for opening my eyes, OS opinions, mind, ...
