There's an old joke (probably anecdotal) about the computer help desk guy,
who when faced with an idiot on the other end of the phone, would tell the
person they had an "eye-dee-10-tee" error, and should reboot. That's
ID10T. Most people would be happy with the response on think they'd been
helped rather than insulted.

It is our fear and recognition of the posibility, that on a bad day, with

endowed with them.
