Geoff,

The Coc allows light-hearted humor, I'm so disappointed you didn't get my clever punning in my last email. I thought it was a treasure.

Now while what you said is fine for this list, it's questionable it adds value to this discussion.

On further observation, I realize it can be used as a testcase to test the strength of this Coc. So I stand corrected this is quite relevant and useful to this discussion. In fact, I think we should package all these and use them in regression tests for this Coc.

Thanks,
