   Around here, it's a typical beginner's mistake to post far too many   
   anagrams which are not really that remarkable after all. Perhaps like a   
   little kid at the beach for the first time, excitedly gathering all the   
   sea shells they can get hold of, proudly showing them off, "Look ma,   
   what I've found".   
      
   But it is certainly annoying to see someone make that same mistake over   
   and over again, day after day, month after month, immune to feedback.

   Oh dear.
