FTP: I have no idea what this is. IT says it's a bad thing. So don't."
Apparently written by a bearded media entrepreneur, noted for starting the career of a man who played a lot of instruments at once.

Made me think of this...
GC: I think all righthtinking people in this country are sick
and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up
in this country with being sick and tired.
All: Yes, yes...
GC: I'm certainly not! And I'm sick and tired of being told
that I am.
?: Mrs. Havoc-Jones.
Mrs. Havoc-Jones: Well, I meet a lot of people and I'm
