    There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed a desire to become a "great" writer.
    When asked to define "great" he said "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation, and anger!"



    He now works for Microsoft writing error messages.
