One very important process of Gentoo recruitment is we force new developers to
surrender their emotions in order, among other reasons, to fix such
"spontaneous emotional breakdown". This results in a total loss of empathy,
sympathy (especially towards users), sociability, and sense of humor. The
process involves torture, blackmail, children abduction, and lobotomy in case
the subject resists.

The fix to this bug is thus very simple: find a mentor and send your quizzes to
recruiters@gentoo.org. We'll take good care of you, trust us.

Closing this as RESOLVED FIXED.
