Hah, I like that. Is that an rc script? An m4 macro? An Acme plug-in?
Where can I get that?

TOP doesn't "advocate" anything; it poses a theoretical question and
explores the benefits/drawbacks of a few potential solutions.

Every problem is ultimately a technical problem. That's true whether
you're building an OS, running for president, or trying to reach
spiritual Nirvana. If any of these boxes were to be checked, I'd sure
hope it'd be the "technical" one. :)
> (x) No one will be able to find the guy or collect the money
Based on the boxes that you checked, I'm assuming your response was
intended in jest, not meant seriously. :) So, I won't take time to
address each of your points. If this assumption is incorrect, however,
and you really do have such concerns, let me know, and I'll post a brief
answer to each of the questions you raise.

Well, I'm happy at least you didn't check that last box! :D
