Over the course of his life, J.S. Bach fathered 20 children, ten of whom survived into adulthood.
All ten of those adult children were musical, but four sons — W.F. Bach, C.P.E. Bach, J.C.F. Bach, and J.C. Bach — became famous composers in their own right.
Alas, having achieved such independent success, these famous sons would often hold themselves superior. They interacted only with each other at family gatherings, and emerged only to criticize whatever choices their siblings made.
The family eventually decided to humour their brothers by dedicating a space for complaints at the end of every family survey, just to get them out of the way early. And so, every time a poll went out over the Thurn & Taxis postal service, they were careful to leave a blank option at the bottom, reserved especially for the Cliquey Bachs.
