Excessive login or logout messages are a sure sign of senility.
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a
warning to others.
Shaw's Principle:
Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will
want to use it.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ketchup is a vegetable.
That secret you've been guarding, isn't.
... But we've only fondled the surface of that subject.
-- Virginia Masters
The birds are singing, the flowers are budding, and it is time for Miss
Manners to tell young lovers to stop necking in public.
It's not that Miss Manners is immune to romance. Miss Manners has been
known to squeeze a gentleman's arm while being helped over a curb, and,
in her wild youth, even to press a dainty slipper against a foot or two
under the dinner table. Miss Manners also believes that the sight of
people strolling hand in hand or arm in arm or arm in hand dresses up a
city considerably more than the more familiar sight of people shaking
umbrellas at one another. What Miss Manners objects to is the kind of
activity that frightens the horses on the street ...
An effective way to deal with predators is to taste terrible.
