11. Ha, @vurtyou is living the tabs vs. spaces nightmare over an MS Word letter the Army is sending to the government. Not just for coders!

12. Dear Register,

27. e.g. We spent $x because criminals in their continued gaming of our tit-for-tat altruism selfishly repurposed your information system.
