+}}An untutored foreigner, glancing at a few prospectuses, might be forgiven for concluding there is something wrong with the average resident of [[New Hampshire]], for it seems they are uncommonly in need of being shouted at, at least whenever they come into contemplation in the course of a securities offering.
+===[[New Hampshire]]people ''deserve'' to be shouted at?===
+It isn’t, obviously, that [[New Hampshire]] residents are ''dense'' — or any denser than the rest of us, at any rate — for what they are being shouted at about seems complicated, convoluted and, in honesty, not the sort of thing that calls for such easy exasperation. Indeed, one would need to be quite the scholar in the intricacies of local securities regulation to make much sense of the [[New Hampshire]] residents’ notice at all.
-It isn’t, obviously, that New Hampshire residents are dense — or any denser than the rest of us, at any rate — for what they are being shouted at about seems complicated, convoluted and in honesty not the sort of thing that calls for such easy exasperation.  It seems you would need to be quite some scholar in the local securities regulations for it to make much sense to you at all. Perhaps adeptness at securities offering laws is just the sort of thing that characterises a New Hampshireman, and an offeror feels justified at easy anger towards those who don’t easily understand the minutiae.
+So perhaps, by contrast, unnatural ''adeptness'' with securities offerings laws characterises the [[New Hampshire]]man or woman — so much so that an offeror can feel justified shouting at those who don’t quickly grasp the minutiae.
+===[[New Hampshire]]people ''like'' being shouted at?===
+A correspondent writes to venture that perhaps the good people of [[New Hampshire]] just ''like'' shouting, [[and/or]] being shouted ''at''.  In our experience the average American is at least unduly fond of the sound of his own voice, so we cannot rule this out. Our correspondent tells us that, as a lad — some years ago now, he laments — he spent a happy summer at a camp on the shores of beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee in [[New Hampshire]], being shouted at by all and sundry.<ref>We think Winnipesaukee is where they filmed the Canadian version of ''Happy Days''.</ref>
+===An important [[disclaimer]] that goes without saying?===
+Or it might be the misconception that this is “important” stuff<ref>Not clear, if the [[Uniform Commercial Code]] is any guide, that a [[disclaimer]] of something for which the disclaiming party was not, in any case, responsible, needs to be said “[[conspicuous]]ly”. But that is an argument too [[tedious]] even for [[JC|this contrarian]] to get into.</ref> that must, by the lights of the [[Uniform Commercial Code]], be said “[[conspicuous]]ly”, and that means ''in [[BLOCK CAPITALS]]''. But, firstly, no it ''doesn’t'', and secondly, no it ''isn’t'': the usual [[New Hampshire]] residents’ notice is a rather feeble [[disclaimer]] roundly denying something that no-one was inferring, let alone implying, nor, dare we say it, giving a flying hoot about, in the first place:
+:{{NH residents}}
+Now if you struggled to make your way through that  — and you would be in company that includes no less fastidious a bunch of wordwrights than the US Nuclear Corp’s investment bankers<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=%22excethe+companyon%22 True story.]
+[[File:New Hampshire typo.jpg|650px|thumb|right|Not [[conspicuous]] enough for the proof-readers, apparently.]]</ref> if you did — to our best guess — and without admission of any liability for any harm that should befall you if it doesn’t — it means this:
-Or it might be the misconception that important stuff just needs to be said [[conspicuous]]ly, and that means in capitals.
+:'''''Listen up people of [[New Hampshire]]''': This document may contain errors and it may not give the whole picture. Even if it’s been filed here, [[New Hampshire]] authorities have not approved or recommended it, or anyone connected with it and anyone who says they have is a liar and is going to be in trouble if we find out.''
