A bit shocked that I have to do this sort of thing, really.  Maybe I haven&#8217;t been in a bubble penetrated only occasionally by &#8220;sales engineers.&#8221;  I&#8217;m okay with this.

It&#8217;d be tough, but I&#8217;m inclined to at least make an effort.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s what the latest round of updates to WordPress promised me.
