Dear Blessed Discloser of "The Truth" <tm>;

Most reading this newsgroup are, as you have
concluded, truly unworthy of your temporal litany,
or of your gracious gifts of repeated, contemptuous,
and arrogant put-downs...perhaps it would be more
productive to share with a more responsive audience?

Somewhere, there must be a better class of fools,
just waiting to suck up all that wisdom you offer.

And besides, a few here may be getting
slightly put off by your style of advocacy.

(Your Mommy might have told you that insulting
people won't usually gain for you the adherents
and desciples and converts you so desire, but
she failed you... or you failed her. Badly.)

FWIW, I've adjusted the balance on a chronometer
to conform to your exquisite and ideosyncratic view
of timekeeping. As the days pass, it will remind me
of just how impractical and out of touch some folks
*need* to be. I assume that your own watch is
similarly adjusted, otherwise you'd be an absurd
hypocrite (in addition to your other manifestly
endearing qualities).

It's true, you know, that some folks refuse to take
helpful medications, because they're unable to
entertain the idea that anything could possibly be
wrong with them. It's sort of a mental "Catch 22".
