Who are you, Declan McCullagh? I think it was pretty darn clear that I
wasn't saying that, seeing as how I set the phrase aside in quote marks
and said "Don't say this." You probably know it too. The rest of the
list may not, though, given an out-of-context quote like this, unless
they've seen the original material.

Somehow I've gotten more sensitive to this recently. If someone is trying
to kill off Eliezer Yudkowsky's brand of dry humor, they may be
succeeding.
