In that sense I do think there is something usefully different
and
novel about Jennifer's Advice.

You *still* don't get it. Do you? It's not *her* advice! Just
because she said it once and saved it to her hard drive to copy
again and again and again doesn't make it *her* advice.

Oh, those plays you say are "by" that Shakespeare guy aren't
really
HIS. Other people before him wrote stuff on the same themes, and
every word he used was used by someone before him!

So stop saying they're "by Shakespeare." They're not!

Again... I gave people pretty much the same advice that Jennifer
did. Lots of people did. But it was never called *our* advice.
Only
*Jennifer's* advice. Why? Because she took the time to save
it to her hard drive then copy and paste it?

Here is is again, the underlying rule in a.s.d.

"It doesn't so much matter what is said as it matters who said it."

I have no doubt that Jennifer was a wonderful participant. But here
they've canonized her into a saint.

Yes they have. And IMO if she really cared so much, she would have
stayed.
But she didn't.


So start a decanonization campaign to set things right.

Who the hell are you?

"Bob" and "Damian" are two twats who can't decide which one of them is
playing Mack this week.

I see.

Actually, some time back Jim Dumas predicted Bob's imminent return over
in m.h.d. I wondered (and still wonder) how he knew in advance like
that. But it isn't important enough to spend more than a minute on
the topic and that time is up.

Oh wait! Is this the crazy Bob who says he eats no carbs?

I don't know or care whether this crazy Bob eats carbs.
