    Ironic coming from someone that is using a computer with OS and programs written by someone else and hardware constructed by other people, using electricity produced by others, et.c. :)

      Entirely unrelated to your point (with which I fully agree) but wouldn’t it make more sense to replace the first period in “et.c.” with just a space (if you’re not going to forego the period)? et isn’t short for anything so the period doesn’t quite make sense (and you wouldn’t be using any more letters than you already are).

      No worries, either way (obviously); I was just thinking.
