No.

Your upvotes don't count on dead comments. (Though I think they should.)

Andrew, Andrew, Andrew ...

Well, IANAL, but since the beginning of time we humans -- but of course I mean homo sapiens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sapiens) -- have encountered this existential, if I may, conundrum. As it were, there is a veritable plethora of solutions to this modern variation.

Now, given the constant that my time is assuredly precious, I cannot tutor you in even a fraction of them right now. But I do wish to instill in you great confidence that you are in no immediate trouble. It is well known and accepted that this country -- and even "cyber states" like Hacker News, if you will -- of course believes down to its core that you are innocent until proven guilty. So read on, good sir. Read on! Ask on! Hack on!
