Well, I would rather it were _memetic's_ quest. I am not an explorer in
such wildernesses.

(And what am I missing re: the use of slashes (/) above? Whatever it is
supposed to mean, it is at best, to me, confusing and looks massively
incorrect. Is it some kind of emphasis? I thought the established
emphasis, i.e. underline/italic convention was the '_' preceding and
following the word or phrase. There is an established use of the slash
already... Lotus-eater?)
