You show great restraint in not reprimanding koan for his use of the question mark. He often puts it at the end of a declarative sentence?

LC, it makes my head hurt to think in such an abstract manner. I prefer to stand on a hill and look at large heards of grazing buffalo in the tall plains grasses.

That is what I like about poker over chess. In chess I have to thhink several moves ahead. In poker I can cruise when I want and only have to think when I pick up a hand and my decision is based more on what those buffalo are doing than specific calculations I have to do in my head.

e.g. if one substitutes the word irreplacable, can one then ask why-lol? And then answer becasue it is unique-lol?

That was a very uniquely irreplaceable post.

Singular to the point of being doubular.

You have extreme credibility. In fact you are barely
credible.

I would go so far as to say your credibility has been sufficiently defined and delimited such that it is completely limited by now.

"The desire to appear truthful and to be assumed reliable may make one strive to improve appearances meticulously, and thus, in the manipulation of such artifices, albeit with the noble intent to achieve a good effect, one becomes instantly and dangerously akin in all manner of such implementation to the practice of deception, the techniques of which honest proclamation is most closely alloyed."

-- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
