Got an Email today from Dewitt Colvin (stocknews@trade.gus.elcom.ru) [googled both and they are fake of course] with the subject: abundantly clear2, the email reads:

This piece of writing has intrigued me and I don’t know why. Perhaps because it is something that one of the five Jpodders from  Couplands new novel could have written one late night after sipping to much Martini or drinking Cowboys home made coca cola with a twist of Kam Fong’s magic powder. I do think that the last line “in between sips of Martini” intrigues me, being very fond of Martini, but probably more because of the subject that this sentence articulates: the author as someone who drinks Martini while writing code, along with the circulatory status of the sentences, that for nonprogrammers makes it resemble code. And - OK I’ll stop now before this post resembles the email.
