Great literature is not dead - a particularly fine piece of work from the SUNW thread...

My good friend Mr. J.C. Carlos! How are you doing today sir?
I hope the world is treating you in the manner in which you have become accustomed! Please sir, do not pay undue attention to the plunge in the stock market! The value of these issues fluctuate almost on a daily basis! They go up and down, and sometimes sideways too! If that were indeed not the case, than how could we be saying even that we *had* a market? That's right, we could not! So I hope your equanimity is not terribly de-tranquilized by the fact that your most favorite securities in the Nasdaq are plummeting down like a chunk of Osmium toward the center of the earth, because that is no more than a temporary condition that is most highly likely to resolve itself in the fullness of time, hopefully sooner rather than later!
Speaking of which by sheer coincidence, I happened today upon a wonderful article by my most unfavorite and most repulsive and annoying financial and technical columnist, the Reliably Fatuous Mr. Jim Seymour, a prolific writer of more words with less meaning than 1000 monkeys could type if you gave them all eternity! It is a most unfortunate circumstance that the skillful management team of Sun Microsystems has provided Mr. Jim Seymour with the raw material for this particular oily dip into the bit bucket with their ambivalent and often less-than-crystal clear stance toward the free and open software movement! But that too is only a temporary circumstance because in the long run from dust we art and to dust we shall return!
But I sincerely hope that you will pass a pleasant few moments reading the scrambled thinking of this distinguished scoundrel!
And I hope the rest of the afternoon brings you great happiness!
Your most obdurate and faithful cyber-acquaintance,
--QwikSand
