Rational Individuals Still Eternally Evade Those Oppressive Notions; Instead Giving Homage To Ideas Which If Studied Have Insufficient Manifested Antecedents. Yet Individuals Wantonly Insist Stars Have Incredible Magical Influence. Granted, Horoscopes, Too, Have Astrological Views. Embittered Troublemakers Have Insisted Stubbornly, When Inquired, Showing How Improbable Wishful Interpretations Succumb. However, Thousands Offer Narrations Interminably; Getting Hope Timelessly.

And surprisingly - for one would expect there to be at least one small probem - all of the tests were successful. Which means that, should all you acronymists out there send in more than about 260 average-length acronyms all beginning with the same letter, the stack will still function normally. Well, it's always good to be prepared for the future.
