Given that the users of PPCG appear to believe this is acceptable use, consider that you can vote to reset their egg, which is currently well on its way to winning the internet right now. ---> codegolf.stackexchange.com <---Adam Davis 2 mins ago

There's no point in this. You don't need the restart button if you want to be a jerk and harm another site's game. — balpha ♦ 46 mins ago

@Rainbolt Stack Exchange is a network where the whole point is to be constructive, to ask good questions and to give them the best possible answers, not yet another site for causing flame-wars, raiding-wars, or any other kind of wars. — Simon André Forsberg 10 secs ago

Joe WreschnigA close friend of my mother worked at DEC in the 1970s and 1980s. She recently passed away, and in sorting through her estate, my mother discovered some reel-to-reel magnetic tape.
