 Hark!  Listen to these words, for they speak the ravings of a madman,
 cursed by his attention to miniscule details.

 For years I have watched my system boot, from BeOS, and now to Haiku.  All
 was well when I began, for I had only one choice.  But now work requires
 Linux, and while my choice of distro has changed like the seasons, my true
 desire has not - and so Haiku carries on as my love and boot loader.

 But now I realize that which I have never seen before - the text, the
 text!  Look at the text!  No, not above, nor below - there!  In the
 center!  You see it now, don't you?  It's the listing of systems, the
 system for listing of systems, the alignment drives one across walls and
 stars.  For it is not aligned to the center, but to the left - no, to the
 right!  What drives its desires, if not some devilish play?  All I wish is
 the text to be aligned like the rest - and stay that way.

 I beseech you coders and marvelous men - do right upon this travesty, and
 align that text like the rest.  Do not allow demons to cloud your head,
 for this horrible design choice makes me wish I was dead.
