Oh oh James, you're getting mighty close to that line where they'll
respond by ignoring the content of your responses and instead lampoon
the phrasing of your responses.

By the way, now that you're doing Void, check out its runit init system,
and how easy it is to add new daemons: even ones you write yourself that
don't put themselves in the background.
