@Alastor,
Welcome!!! Taboo questions are the best kind. You may not get answers but further questions, but all the more power to you. Just keep an open mind, be well informed, and don't take anybody too seriously.
Also, you will not be excused for your writing mistakes. For every grammatical error you commit, you will lose 10 Plato points. After 100 Plato points, you will lose a finger. Note that you will only be allowed to lose 1000 Plato points as you have only ten fingers... unless you can type with your toes, in which case you get a brightly colored sash or a trophy or something like that. LOL! just kidding, welcome!!!
