I like it. And it's a fitting moment, then, to pay our respectful gratitude to the OW-relatives-and-friends-and-pets-and-hedgehogs who ceaselessly support us in our work.

"Ya know something, laddie? Back when I was young, we didn't have any AI to do the transcribing and editing for us - we had to do it all ourselves!
We had to type in every last letter and every last digit, no matter how badly written!
And some of us enjoyed it so much, they did ten, fifty, even a hundred times the average contribution!"
