mr mark, >wouldn't it be great to hear a speaker say, "it goes without saying", and then walk off the stage? <g3><

My laugh for the day! Thank you.
I guess there is such a thing as verbal pomposity?
As in 'precipitation activity'

But "it goes without saying" is in the same league as "any right thinking American will agree..."
It's meant to intimidate you into agreement.
I say that without fear of contradiction. :)
