[[ISDA Comparison]] What are the differences bvetween a {{1992ma}} and a {{2002ma}}? Should I care? (Spoiler: ''No''.)<br>

“Tell me about {{casenote|Miller|Jackson}}: Is [[cricket]] ''capable'' of being a [[nuisance]]? (Spoiler: it’s controversial. But, in the eyes of the law, ''yes''.)<br>
“[[I’m not going to die in a ditch about it]]”: When to use that greatest of all [[negotiation]] climb-downs.<br>

“[[Notwithstanding anything to the contrary]]”: But, why did you ''say'' something to the contrary? <br>
“Does [[Africa|Kilimanjaro rise like ''Olympus'' above the Serengeti]]?” More [[Toto]] fan correspondence action. <br>
“[[Olympus|Is Mt. Olympus anywhere near the Serengeti]]?” Okay, Mr Lukather, that’s eenough now. It was funny the first time.
