In order to forestall the pedantry undoubtedly forthcoming from my
previous announcement, I propose that the first motion of the PotD (post
committee face-to-face) shall be to debate at length, whether the
sentence construct, "There _IS_ a number of reasons" or the alternative
"There _ARE_ a number of reasons" is more correct.
I need nominations for one person to use their linguistic knowledge to
mediate and another volunteer to stand in the corner loudly questioning
whether it has anything to do with Linux :)
I shall be sitting in the corner with Jeroen, drinking heavily and
wondering why Kewlio can't have an IPv6 failure of less than 4 weeks at
a time... (E_NOTATALLBITTER)
