The "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" song has always been a favourite of
mine too, but also thought that it was in poor taste in the context that the
original writer used on the list. However, I should keep my mouth shut so
that writer doesn't think that I was just another "Canadian telling him how
to interpret US Amateur regulations, and sticking his nose into places it
didn't belong."
