The point is that my blood pressure goes up when I see people thanking "The
Lord, their girlfriends and an accountant" where it does not belong... Why,
a trac ticket ? Why the source code ? Those are work tools ! We use them
for serious stuff ! Let's put the grant numbers where they belong -->
anywhere else. Plus the web page will stay like that forever, and become
harder to read with time. It's cool !
