It is by me.  I don't want my children saying it.

So?  Do we have to be as bad as the bad examples, or should we be as
good as the good examples?  Or should we be a good example to others?

I've always asked that this forum remain clean, helpful, and positive,
and in general I've been quite pleased at how well people treat each
other here.  It gives a good name to the project and we've gotten lots
of good press because of it.  It takes a little effort, but not a lot
of effort, and it certainly doesn't stop people from expressing
themselves technically or stating a well-formed opinion.  So please,
keep up the good work!
