Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.

Last year at a conference, I watched a FSF member give a talk bemoaning the fact that they can't get anyone to join Emacs development anymore and heartily encouraging all his listeners to contribute to Emacs, all completely oblivious of all of the reasons why lively Emacs development might not be an appropriate place to be funneling youthful development efforts in 2010.
