Well done, Hari Seldon. Throughout your history here, you’ve dealt with psychos quite well. I’m glad to be with you at the terminus of your mod journey. Others will deal with mulish characters here in the future. ---

Thank you Hari, it’s a horrible burden you took up, and glad you are able to put it down and join the rest of us in the ruckus rousing, rather than have to treat everyone even-handedly, especially those who are really, really asking for it. ---
