It took me three and a half hours to realize you spelled "bit" wrong.
I'll bet you're not in sales.

It took me 5 minutes to find out what RSOCP was (crap, I've broken another
rule). I even saw your image in my "quest". Its excellent. I like the
colour change a lot. Actually, you're my favourite poster, seriously!!
I feel like a fookin' dope compared to the geniuses that post in the POV
Newsgroups, but that's why its fascinating.

Ugly math object? I will look it up right now! Cheers!
