Bennett Cerf told the story of the wealthy alumnus getting a tour for his alma mater from the college president, who’s drooling over a prospective donation.

The prez takes him to his old dorm room. They knock on the door and the current resident opens it. The alumnus says, “Same old room.”

He looks around. “Same old desk. It was a wreck when I lived here.”

He opened the closet to reveal a girl cowering in the corner. “Same old girl.”

“It’s, it’s my sister, sir,” stammered the resident.

“Ahhh,” said the alumnus. “Same old lie.”

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
