It's a shame, in a way. Folks seems to get away from the olden right teaching that says to drive the nails down and trim the edges well always like it was for your own use and comfort you were making it. It's like some folks has the smooth, pretty boards to build a courthouse with and others don't have no more than rough lumber fitten to build a chicken coop. But it's better to build a tight chicken coop than a shoddy courthouse, and when they both build shoddy or build well, neither because it's one or toothier is going to make a man feel the better nor the worse.

Great news everyone, Q has risen! (For those who believe the last 8kun id as accepted by q-researchers as Q is really Q, at least).

Given some of the posts here, wouldn't quoting from The Sound and the Fury have been more appropriate?

Ah, you give away my secrets. But really, of this is the higher forum l think being aspirational is fair. Some folks should think more about workmanship, methinks.

You're kinder than I am.

I'm thinking of Faulkner novels using stream of consciousness. I'm also considering Shakespeare’s line that Faulkner drew on for his title, The Sound and the Fury.
