			Xury,

This was discussed in the Urth Mail Archives Volume 2. The summary link
text of the first message in the discussion was:

 (urth) Agilus' mask   Ranjit Bhatnagar <ranjit@best.com>    Tue, 1 Jul
                                                             1997 13:23:35

No complete consensus was reached on what the "ribbon episode" meant.
