Yes… that’s a perfectly sensible conclusion to jump to.

No details, and please don’t ask because I can’t say at this time and place.
I think I can say later on in the year you’re gonna like us more better. (That’s about all I can say now, though.)

Oh, oh, I deciphered some more of the Great 20K Missive:
**drmark’s** but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

More of The Post:
_Pale white and black with false citrine, imperfect white and red. The peacock’s feathers in bright colors, the rainbow in the sky above, the spotted panther, the green lion, the crow’s beak blue as lead. These shall appear before you in perfect while, and with many others. After the perfect while follows the grey and false citrine also, and after these shall appear the [indistinct] substance invariable. Than you shall …_
That’s all I could decipher.

I’m fired, aren’t I?
I can’t say I’m surprised, but you could have at least found a nicer way to tell me.

Even that excerpt is filled with errors. Nobody could ever get from the Peacock’s tail to Rubedo following those instructions.

Well of course not, you’re holding the map upside down. It should read:

Gah! **Tuba** you ignorant slut! (SNL reference when it was funny. The youngsters will be lost.)
We’ve been told the boards will be shut down this time next year, so any changes are plain hubris on your part. What? You’re going to make this a worthwhile place 6 months before it all ends? You’re going to relent and allow **duhmarked** to post again? According to the second greatest poster ever we’re shit outta luck with you worthless scum denying us the wisdom of Ph.D. clinical psychologists!
I wish I could be here to see how the changes would better the boards, but according to the **Master Aeschines** , the boards won’t be around long enough.
A pity, really.
Not about the boards. That **Aeschines** is still posting. That was the pity.
