Yes, I think Dave missed the point that why can be called with more than
one argument so you need to go through the whole argv list. I like your
"I/me" -> "you" translation; that was always an omission in the original
version that I never got round to adding. Of course, you should also cope
with abuse aimed at the computer and convert "you" to "I" or "me" as
appropriate, but perhaps one should leave that as an exercise...
