Marcus, I have to admit something that I have not formerly been willing to 
leave a written record saying.  But I guess my vanity would feel slighted if 
nobody ever noticed it.

There was a time I was getting lectured fairly heavily about my lack of a web 
presence at SFI.  They were right to lecture; I was being lazy and stubborn, 
and SFI needed advertising help because they were trying to survive during the 
last recession.  But I was also in a snit about people giving themselves too 
much credit, and not enjoying being railroaded.

So I put together a bunch of web pages, to cover things that were needed, but 
refused to use the first-person (and I think second-person) pronoun anywhere in 
them.  It turned out to require a little work, as normal English construction 
typically leads one into sentences that are hard to get out of without those.
