Eventually it turned out that it was the single word "sheep" - which taken out of the relevant alt.* context was pretty harmless. Talk about a moment when I thought my career had crashed and burned...

- HaZeust 2y agoLikewise; they tried to pin it on me, and I had to go to the Git commit history to show it was another employee. My administrative leave was promptly revoked.
