What are the "Frequently Asked Questions" about this garbage? We
can think of several, and the very first is "why?" Perhaps a second
might be, why can't you use a real calendar? What's the point of
the silliness above? A related question might be, why is it that
pseudo computer types are in to fantasy/sci-fi? There is nothing
connecting the two.

Nobody cares about swaret. Most people around here probably don't
know what it is. There is nothing about this quote that could be
"... deemed so wise, funny, inflammatory or any combination of
those."

Again, we ask "why?"

I wouldn't have thought so, but most people around here do know that it is
best avoided

That is rather dependent one ones point of view. However, as usual, an
insightful opinion on the value of swaret, trenchantly expressed.
