Such are a well regulated militia, composed of the freeholders,
citizen and husbandman, who take up arms to preserve their property,
as individuals, and their rights as freemen.

Hey, Brian, you're meant to be the PR guy.

Your strategy might work in the corporate world, but in the open source
world, the first rule of PR is to actually make sense. This may come as

The second rule... well, if you didn't know the second rule, you
wouldn't have taken the job on, right?

Brian, you're not in my good books today, this month or this year.

Please sort it out. Now.
