 I hope it does indeed serve it's intended purpose. As far as your other
wish maybe you could hack into somebody's news bot and have it do the
filtering for you. As soon as it pings one of the two options it sends
out an email to 50 million people just be be sure everybody is properly
notified of the answer to the question. A little over kill perhaps but
fewer people will be repeating the question in the future and the VFAQ
may eventually go to a well deserved resting place in one of the United
Nations buildings as one of the ultimate documents of peaceful coexistence
in our time. An example to all nations that cooperation is a good thing
and we all really can get along if we try.
