By "bars" I meant "barfs" .

This content was designed for an ascii-format email, because this mailing
list is for old hackers.  It's important to speak for the communities being
shared to, which includes culture, language, and values.   But similarly it
is important not to cover up that yours are different; otherwise there is
no trust.  This email was sent html format, which is an error, but
hopefully helps remind that we are not real hackers ourselves, which I
tried to state directly but could have been seen as deceptive when stated.
(Etc.  This old-hacker-language expression shows fake system disruption and
is believed to be well crafted.)

Intended here to have cubicle vs office ambiguous ("workspace").  Other
parts assumed large-office.  Story was intended to be splittable and used
for different worker classes.

SORRY FOR MIND CONTROLLING YOU.  This expression is marked
incredibly-helpful-for-diverse-goals.

Story is still missing: -with-learning.  We need to learn to let people's
written channels be uncensored, and to let people's brains adjust
information flow based on their desired feedback.
