Tell you what, why don't you engage with my point (or ignore it, as you wish) rather than responding with a smart-arse comment that doesn't really address what I said? [ 10. January 2015, 20:42: Message edited by: Kelly Alves ]

HAMLET O God, I could be bounded in a nut shell and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.
GUILDENSTERN You think you have problems! This plays gonna give me nightmares for weeks.
ROSENCRANTZ I told you not to eat nuts before bedtime.
GUILDENSTERN It's the nutty Princes who are the problem.
ROSENCRANTZ Why what's the matter?
GUILDENSTERN I blame the mother. She's hell to live with.
ROSENCRANTZ I blame the father. He lives in hell.
GUILDENSTERN & ROSENCRANTZ Hur hur hur hur hur hur

Does that mean someone is going to softly and suddenly vanish?

MT, you gotta respect Betts for taking you on. I actually collected myself a bowl of popcorn in honor of this one.
And just because everybody's being too nice, I have to share that I once observed that when you and MartinPCNot go at it, it's like watching a couple Furbies chatting with each other.

Real love is not blind, my friend.
Bett's giddy kamikaze attempt just reminded me of it, but you and Martin snarking at each other in Purg a while back, while struggling to stay within the 10 C's, was some funny shit.

You know, earlier this week I had decided that God's sole purpose in putting me on this earth was to give other people an ego boost. This just cinches it. Here I am trying to pull your tail, and you figure out a way to frame me putting you in a death dance with MartinPCNot as a compliment.
Can't you exhibit just the tiniest bit of narcissistic wounding, just to make me feel like I can do something else with my life? Call me a bitch or something. Complain about me in the Styx. Anything.

Hmm, OK. Well played. I'll make sure I put my glasses on next time because I only saw passive, no aggressive. Having said that, I'll admit my difficulty is more likely caused by the event-horizon situated between my audio receptors and this is what happens when one speaks from a black hole.
