Version One:
And I'd be willing to wait fifteen years for a thoughtful response from you, though all available evidence indicates that would indeed be the triumph of hope over experience.

Though your usual mud congeals fairly quickly before being swept away, I'd be willing to wait fifteen years for a thoughtful response from you, though all available evidence indicates that would indeed be the triumph of hope over experience.

This is the rewrite for which we're forced to wait fifteen minutes? If you must respond in a bloated, trite and tired manner, at least make it pithy...Consider using "ME, TOO!" or "NO I"M NOT, YOU ARE" to save bandwith.

I must leave you...now that you've mastered "congeal", your assignment for the rest of the day is to understand "cogent".
