Ah! Thanks for the link! I will have the perfect occasion to use it  
in the coming week, but I almost certainly will have to keep it to  
myself. Sadly, I'm finding myself having to develop the tender art of  
client de-programming which Ziya mentioned.

The hardest part appears to be raising the natural pH of my  
commentary to something tolerable to younger ears. That, plus  
explaining the science behind the mythic lore the client calls best  
practice.
