I could say that you write an awful lot for someone who has nothing to say, but I won't.

I see you have compiled an impressive record of over 8,000 posts in less than a year. I wonder how many of them stand the test of time, much less demonstrate any artistic merit, either in composition or execution. I must look and see....

Ah, such a pity.... I had such hope... but, there it is: a veritable wasteland of useless information. Your latest flame is but yet another pitiful example of one who aspires to wit but summons only half as much as necessary.

A quote for the thread -

"I am rather inclined to silence, and whether that be wise or not, it is at least more unusual nowadays to find a man who can hold his tongue than to find one who cannot."

The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume IV, "Remarks at the Monogahela House" (February 14, 1861), p. 209.
