My sisters and I often tease our mother about her habit of starting 
sentences with "No...", especially when she actually wants to agree with 
you. Please don't turn that into a feature. (The same goes for the 
additional strategy of starting nesting sub-clauses in speech without 
ever returning.)

I think it's safe to say that the sum of your contributions amounts to 
quite a healthy influence, actually.

But LilyPond deals with the habit the same way a good son would: Not 
utterly without complaint, but obediently.
