I once got kicked out of a seminar paper presentation for too much use of the passage voice in my work. He stopped me in the middle of my discussion while he counted my uses of the passive voice on the first page (15 or 20 I think). Apparently Mr. Gonzales never took any classes from Dan Kaiser.

I learned my lesson.
