But if there's something you can actually look at, even if it's just the debug output of your mailbox parser, it's like, OK, there! — Jamie Zawinski

And a British mailbox can presumably stop a German tank. — Neal Stephenson

To spit in the eyes and souls of passersby with advertisements. — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
