    <p>OMG! I just came up with the name of my next cluster...
      Curmudgeon! No one else take it. I called it! <br>
    </p>
    <p>Anyone else feeling like Abe Simpson right now? <br>
    </p>
    <p>“I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now
      what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and
      scary. It’ll happen to you! <br>
    </p>
    <p>-- Abe Simpson. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Of course, if we were talking in Slack, I could just post a meme
      image of Abe Simpson with the that text overlaid on it like the
      cool kids do, or I could have cut-and-pasted it into this e-mail,
      but something tells me that if your still in favor of mailing
      lists, you're probably reading this e-mail on a console-based
      e-mail client. ;) <br>
    </p>
    <p>At least I'm "with it" enough to use Thunderbird. <br>
