Hey, I'm not being pretentious, I'm merely paying due diligence to privacy and security issues.

(Complete listing)We do not ask to be born; and we do not ask to die. But born we are and die we must. We come into existence and we pass out of existence. And in neither case does high-handed fate await our ratification of its decree.
[Corliss Lamont (1902-1995) "The Illusion of Immortality"]

True story (I swear!): Years ago while working on my master's degree in math, I rented a room from a guy about my age who was defraying the cost of his mortgage by renting a couple of the spare rooms. The other renter was from Africa. He spoke excellent English and had a vocabulary almost as large as mine. In fact, the African and I could easily talk above our landlord's head, which used to exasperate him and amuse us. "I believe I shall indulge my peripatetic predelictions with a postprandial perambulation." Yes, geeky and pompous, all at once. Our landlord would fleer at us and demand that we cut it out.
He was a journalism major. He could have been president (and better than the one we have).
