I finally figured out what it was about MES that *really* bothers me: the 
use of the word "pseudo".  "Mark Ethan Smith" is "pseudo", "ere" and "reason"
are "pseudos", EVERYTHING is a "pseudo" on some level or another.  Does MES
want to have a photo ID and Social Security number attached to every "pseudo"?

Or maybe I got it all wrong and MES uses "pseudo" in the same sense as the
rest of us use "poster" and "person"?
