I thought the same things. But I'm a bit...weird...and also had a fourth: (4) was in the middle of a failing stand-up comedy routine. (hey, it could happen! ok, maybe not...) Also, I know I probably shouldn't, but I'm going to have to take the reference to methods of religious conversion as an opportunity to point out the way that I..."found Jesus": http://www.normalbobsmith.com/findjesus/ (I don't think it would be offensive to anyone religious or otherwise, it seems good-natured enough. Apologies if you are offended.) After all, it's not like I'll ever find a more relevant opportunity to link to that on a programming language newsgroup. Sorry I don't have anything more constructive (or at all constructive) to add to this conversation... :(
