You know the ones I mean: those with the silly poems spread out over half a dozen lines; others with doodles and graphics, and those that have every conceivable pathto in them, on a separate line! While I'm at it, I hate all articles over 35 lines! Writing a long article indicates [generally speaking] that some thought has gone into it, and that means it might make sense. I prefer the short, irrational postings that make no sense and are easy to flame at! [ This one's a good example] I also hate seeing in a response to an article the entire original article [goddammit Gordon, paraphrase!]. Ahhhh... the Metamucil seems to have worked.
