Notes
  1. McCarthy 1959, pp. 347–349.
gollark: He *is* explicitly saying he's not going to tell me, which is... problematic.
gollark: Great, so you're basically mildly evil.
gollark: I mean, I figure that with significant work people probably could uniquely identify me and/or get my location. If someone does that, they should NOTIFY ME OF IT and PROVIDE STEPS TO STOP THAT, not just sort of boast about it.
gollark: He is edgy™ and apparently does not listen to others' moral standards™.
gollark: Probably.
