You are forgiven -- like, what, you think we give a ***? G'night.

Well hallo again mister boots and thank you once again for following up my
writing related or pencil post as they are some called by appending your
important comments to it vis a vis its content and also what it contained. I
had been worried that no one would have responded to my postng which would
then have indicated that I had cast my breasts upon the waters in futility
because I am not one of those who hates writing but enjoys having written
rather instead believing that if no one answers that is like the sound of
one phone ringing or one hand clasping. As I have stated in the past I
certainly welcome the comments from one such as yourself who is an important
and integral part of this group of writers in usenet and who also have
blogs. If you don't mind I will address your concerns jointly and or
severally which is a legal phrase from the latin "Obstupui steteruntque
comae" meaning something in a foreign language.

First and foremost I would like to thank you most humbly and abjectly for
your forgiveness. Regular readers if I have any are aware in what high
esteem I hold the members in good standing in this important writing group
(MIGS) and so you can and they can also well imagine how relieved I am that
my past transgressions have been wiped clean leaving me so to speak a tabula
rasa which sounds like a drum but is not. I especially was concerned with
your forgiveness as I am a great fan of your important usenet posts wherein
you describe your tribulations as an iconoclastical writer who has chucked
it all to live nearly off the land that discuss your difficulties with the
water man and so forth not to mention driving your truck to town. Obviously
I do not believe that my mundane offerings can hold a candle (which is what
you probably do often living nearly off the grid) to your interesting posts
wherein you describe in realistical detail how you have banged your finger
with a hammer while you are hammering things, but I thought what I had to
say needed saying and so I said it or more presisely wrote it as if I said
it no one would have heard it which would have defeated the purpose of the
posting vis a vis the humbling of myself in asking for forgiveness.

Second, I would like to thank you for speaking for the other MIGS in the
group by your use of the adverb "we" to describe your forgiveness of me in
regards to my lack of truth telling. At first I thought you were referring
to yourself and your lovely wife Miriam or perhaps that you were hearing
voices as you have often told regular readers how you were too insane to
work for the man but then I realized that you were using the adverb in the
colloquial or royal sense as it is used by the queens of England such as
Victoria and Diana to speak for their subjects.

Of course, when you say that we do not give a *** that is a tad troubling
as it somewhat denigrates the acceptance of the apology that I have offered
and that you have graciously accepted in that it suggests that my
contributions to this forum of important writers such as yourself with blogs
are not nearly as important as I had hoped they were in that you seem to be
derively dismissing their content such as it is. However, I suspect that you
were only being somewhat flippant as is your wont as an insane iconoclast
who has shucked it all after only 40 years in the rat races.

Also somewhat confusing was your use of the word "g'night." What confused me
in the first place was that the proper truncation or spealling would be
g'''night as you have omitted three letters rather than one as the single
apostrophe indicated which is the crux of the biscuit and so I was trying to
figure out whether you had meant "go night" to suggest that I start working
the late shift or perhaps "ga night" meaning you wished to engage in baby
talk, and in the second place it is afternoon here where I am even though
perhaps not where you are due to the time differentiation but then I
realized that you were merely dismissing me by saying good night as mister
arjayem is wont to due after he writes one of usenet trolleries. I believe
it was the writer Elliot Gould who said "good artists steal and good artist
imitate" or something similar in which case you have chosen wisely in
stealing from and imitating mister arjayem as he is a good writer although I
must caution you somewhat territorial when it comes to people appropriating
his bits and japes which I can tell you from bitter experience.
