I would wager that most (not all) of the regulars here have taken (if not taught) the Orientation, Foundations (what ever it will be called next month) course.

We're really benevolent guys.  Even sinking submarines was a benevolent act if you were a merchant sailor in World War II.

Sometimes I'm so benevolent I actually frighten myself.

I have to go now.  Someone, somewhere needs some benevolence.

[vmstan]

How benevolent of you, looking out for the benevolence of others.

Hey... you look up "Benevolence" in the dictionary, and you see my picture there!

But "gullible" isn't in the dictionary!
