Yes.  Tom Lehrer quoted his friend Hen3ry [the '3' was silent you see],
who was then staying in the Massachusetts State Home for the Terminally
Bewildered, with many positive, uplifting statements like: "Life is
like a sewer.  You only get out of it what you put into it."

;-}

Life has very few absolutes.  Privacy is not one of them.  [Sorry,
Vin.]  I sacrifice privacy to live in a community.  But I will only go
so far in sacrificing it: I will not compromise it to allow random
perusal at will of anything of mine.  Having said that, I will also say
that I have nothing which I will not let anyone who asks to peruse.
Contradictory?  No.

I think it is in this spirit that people take part in efforts like
this.  And, as Vin realized - or partly realized - EVERYONE is in there
with a slightly different agenda, just as in every organization since
Adam and Eve glanced at the apple tree.

Eh?
