Someone as talented as you, Jeremy, has I think a far greater chance of
being hit by an asteroid than being dropped the instant you wig out.  If you
should happen to wig out for a couple days, people will figure you're just
on about something.  If you wig out for a couple weeks, then it's a thing
that'll come to pass.  If you wig out for a couple months, then, well, heh,
maybe you've gone south for the winter.  :-)

But even so, when someone does wig out, a healthy community remembers a
person's accomplishments and contributions and takes all of that into
account.  IMHO, you could probably not reach 11 on the annoying scale even
if you tried.

Aw yea, but you're quoting a 20+ year old Billy Joel song!  :-)
