canu Jul 11, 2004	An ingenious idea, but it is sabotaged by the typographical arrangement, which is right now: BBBB SHOT oooo wwww By the time the next comment is posted, I hope it will have been changed to bSow bHow bOow bTow The name of the teaser, Avast!, may be a useful hint to those few who happened to know its meaning, or bother to look it up before attempting to solve the teaser rather than afterwards, as I did. It is "a nautical command to stop or cease".
