For those of you who don't know...that certain somebody is me.  :(  
Sorry Sergey.  I'll be sure to explicitely ask you in the future about
wiki articles that I stole from your emails.  I'll will re-word your
words when I don't quote you.

Just so you know, when I re-word things, I typically add
incorrect information.  So please bear with me, because re-wording things
means I'll get stuff wrong, which means more edits, which means me 
documenting less things and being generally less helpful to the Hurd
project.  BUT I don't want our developers annoyed at our hurd documentor.
I want the Hurd to be a fun place for developers to come, so I'll abide
by your wishes.  #stillFriendsRight?

It was not negative at all!  It made me chuckle!
