You realize there's a very large number of those, right? When you write
an email, you don't sign it "Not João, not Lars, not any of the
Stefans". You sign it: "Drew". Because it's easier.

Who's beating around the bush? I only see one person writing
paragraph-fulls of objections to a plain, simple and obvious a 2
line-patch.
