efforts that will late prove politically inconvenient to acknowledge.

None what so ever. 2000 is likely to be as bad, then Andrew Wheeler
started force-feeding me fiction of all lengths.

None for me as well. Since nobody was force-feeding me fiction of all
lengths the last 25 years, I suspect that none will be a frequent reply
from me for the next 25 installments.
