No.

Also, I didn’t have a tangential relationship with the language as a coach, so you get another DQ, as I don’t know who you mean.

No, I’m not Carl Sagan. However, I don’t know the son of an efficiency expert you mean, so a DQ is yours.

**Zeldar** : I’m familiar with Stengelese (“The first thing you need is a catcher, or you’ll have a lot of passed balls”), but I thought you were referring to a language coach of some sort. Sneaky!

No, I was not in politics.
