for what it's worth, I like the way Droopy writes.

Answer me honestly...

Were you high when you posted this?

ETA: I guess what I'm asking is, are you high now?

[_Droopy]

Go back and read my above post again, as I expanded it a bit, and don't try to correct my writing style.

I'll throw you to the hyenas.

Droopy, no one with any taste or talent for writing would say that you write better than Runtu. No one.

This assertion does not appear to have been impregnated with a substantial degree of veracity Trevor. And while your at work impregnating your comments with a bit more veracity, I'll stick with the kind of writing that brought me a 3.8 grade point average at university and which expresses the kind of intellectual creativity and exploritoriness with the language I enjoy.

All writing, in other words, that is correct from a English teachers point of view, is not necessarily the best, from an intellectually stimulative point of view.

Unfortunately not.

I don't have time to go through and find my absolute favorites, but here is a recent post I truly enjoyed reading:

Eric is a thoroughgoing and unfazed retro-fellow traveler and useful idiot of the kind one might think had been shown the quickest route to the La Brea Tar Pits after the Berlin Wall came tumbling down in 1989.

That's good stuff right there.

Well, I sincerely tried. I'll shut up again for a while. It is not up to me how others write, and it probably was presumptuous to offer unsolicited advice, for which I apologize.

Though I disagree with Eric on just about everything, I have to thank him for these words of support.

At Stak's 7th to 8th grade reading comprehension level (apparently standard here in the GASTP), I suppose much of what I write does appear quite daunting.

I've been bested yet again!

I have read your latest post and stand by my statement.

Don't apologize, I saw it as a community service.

Yes, a nice P.J. O'Rourke taste to it, if I do say so myself.
