A few things to keep in mind:

• All of my work comes with absolutely no warranty, expressed or implied. However…
• It will almost certainly work until it breaks,
  though I must admit it may never work or be useful—and that would be sad.
• If/when it breaks, you can keep all the pieces.
• As for what you don’t like, it’s yours to do with as you will.
• If you find my materials helpful, both you and I will be happy (at least for a while).
• My advice is worth every penny you paid for it!
