Yes, shocking. It's been several years and you are still using that
buzzword; I mean, it's _so_ 2010... Should've moved on to whatever's
in this year...

Incidentally, minors are 20 bit and majors are 12, but don't let that
stand in the way of righteous indignation - what's mere facts when
one is having discussions in context, presumably leveraging synergies
all along...
