This is whack. All of the good witty responses, references, puns, jokes and in-jokes have been done. Too late to muse about padding, coding, speling, not posting, double posting, blank posting, cites, or what should be done to that Dell guy with which scalding implement. I’m left with nothing. Zilch. Zero. All those other words people use to say “nothing” when the’re trying to stamp a point into the ground. But at least I got to say “whack” before it quit being cool. What? It has? Bogus. ---
