   i) You should have been a diplomat.

  ii) I think it's time we changed your other name.  You're obviously
      a lightning rod for controversy for some using your present

 iii) How in the world do we get from "trivial programming language"
      to "child-centric" family values on debian-user?

  iv) The world would be a better place if a lot more people had
      chosen not to have children.
