"Gee, I don't want to bother spelling everything correctly; everyone
understands what I'm trying to say."
"Gee, I don't want to bother fixing that DEBUG thing in sendmail;

Speaking of details, the extra 16 spaces after "An XBBS System" produced

Another trivial detail, yes, this one was actually trivial; but what
