Make a "oh so nice" anova table for people who have never seen anything
but an anova table with SS and MS and all the standard trappings (sensu
Sokal and Rohlf or Zar), and would get perturbed if they did not get
what they expected, together with the "oh so nice" stars next to the p
value of the F-test...

I know it is silly, I do not make the rules though. Also, I am probably
just ranting.
