Today is Fan Mail Friday on Tuesday #3

Having extended our "Fan Mail Friday #n" featurette to Tuesday, The Supreme Aglet humbly submits this interesting challenge presented by a faithful Agleteer.

This selection comes from Agleteer Venu (The Supreme Aglet will not reveal the full identity of fan mail contributors unless specifically requested):

Sir:

I am disturbed that I am among only 3 people in my place of work who "get" the Supreme Aglet. There are 10 of us altogether, and we are all very competent IT experts, so I was surprised when some who I invited into my cube to read your daily regimen of wisdom seemed to derive almost nothing from it.

How can I persuade them that they must read your posts in order for them to receive the kind of fulfillment that the rest of your faithful readers do?

Venu, as the old saying goes, "if you have to ask, then you won't understand", (I believe this phrase originated among the counter-culture movement in the 1960's, and I am not a communist).

On the other hand, considering that your friends are competent IT professionals, perhaps the problem simply amounts to not speaking their language.

Rather than attempting to appeal to their sense of self-gratification to persuade them that they should join the ranks of the Agleteers, perhaps you should appeal to them at the bits and bytes level, where nothing but pure logic exists. Specifically, try telling them this:

import com.wisdom.aglet.TheSupremeAglet;
import com.labor.workers.CoWorker;
import java.util.*;

boolean mustReadAglets = true;

if (mustReadAglets) {
   /* Get an instance of today's Supreme Aglet pearl of wisdom */
   TheSupremeAglet todaysAglet = new TheSupremeAglet(Calendar.getInstance());

   /* Get co-worker list */
   Vector coWorkerList = CoWorker.getList(CoWorker.MY_COMPANY);
   CoWorker nextCoWorker;

   /* Go through list and instruct each worker to read The Supreme Aglet */
   for (int i = 0; i < coWorkerList.get(i); ++i) { 
      /* Get the next co-worker */ 
      nextCoWorker = (CoWorker)coWorkerList.get(i); 

      /* Instruct co-worker to read and understand today's Aglet */ 
      nextCoWorker.read(todaysAglet); 
      nextCoWorker.parse(); 
   } 
}

Now, hit the compile button, and the world of the Supreme Aglet is once again in perfect balance.
