Case in... Point?

This is either comedy, or hypocracy at it's finest.

Ed is a consummate satirist.

We Usenet posters are the comedians; we just
provide the material for him.

The more seriously we take our idle yakk (especially
if it's opinionated or hypocritical,) the better
the material.

Consider those times at your place of work when
you're stuck with some especially skill-demanding task
and you're suddenly surrounded by kibbitzers and armchair
critics who think they know everything, give you tons of
"advice," and don't have to take responsibility for the
outcome of what you're trying to accomplish.

Kibbitzers & armchair critics need a good kick in
the ass, or sumpthin' -- if not to smarten them up,
at least to get 'em to back off and let a person do
his/her thing in peace.

Ed is our Quality Control guy. I guess the upmarket term
is now Quality Assurance. Or Paradigm something-or-other.


cheers,
Tom

That would make a good title for a King Krimson tune.

Speaking of which, you know those summer days when you've
got a big, big, blue sky overhead, and everything is warm
and wonderful? I bet King Krimson's "The Sheltering Sky"
from their album: Discipline, would make a good riding tune.
I'd sandwich it between Psycho Killer, and No Compassion from
the Talking Heads' '77 album. Maybe also throw in Alice
Cooper's: Lost in America, which is so latter-day rockabilly.

Hoo boy, do I ever destest these colder months. And it's
gonna get worse before it gets better.

Oh, well.


cheers,
Tom
