Excellent riff

Robert — 1/5/2006 6:58:32 PM (archived)

Congratulations, SDAI-Tech1, that was great. I bumped up the browser text size so I could lean back and enjoy reading it.

One of the toughest skills to master in the art of BBS debate is to know how to end a discussion gracefully. All too often we keep on past the peak, worrying and nibbling at the topic, until the thread just fades away into ignominy.

Better, I think, for me to step aside now and acknowledge that you've created an excellent capstone for the discussion, and to preserve the integrity of what Lindy so graciously called a "gem" that should be preserved for "permanent viewing" (although that does have a faintly disturbing ring of analogy with a mausoleum...).

Besides, this is of course just an installment in a never-ending serial, so with congratulations I say

I'll Be Back!
