Non-participation in such stupidity does serve a purpose, yes. It creates a pristine natural habitat for dullards. If there's a subgenus of human being that deserves no quarter whatsoever, it's the Dullard. Some might argue that the Kettle has a lower priority, but I disagree. When you see a Dullard habitat forming, fire up the bulldozer.

I do aim to please. ^

Or, just leave them alone and quietly listen to their ridiculous banter while laughing from the sidelines. :D

Jumping in for an attack really does not add any value to a place that exists for community discussion.

I think I've got a shot at a voucher for my AA flight today. GA said its currently oversold by 6 :)

I'm too type-A for that. I would twitch and have to watch Wapner if I didn't inject a dose of my trademarked reality. Brituchenite could probably write a case study on me. Just like Steve GadFly's garage door opener, I'd go wobbly-bonkers if I stayed quiet.

I do add value. I'm a value-added reseller of original humor and biting commentary.

If anyone is looking for a computer backpack for travel I found a nice one made by The Sharper Image at Marshall's in Parsippany, NJ for $25. It retails for $140 from The Sharper Image.

Greetings from the US Club in DCA. It has a Flavia espresso machine, the furniture is in great condition, the club is large, and has Tillamook cheese.

I was wondering when you were going to make your way over there. ;)

Rome was not built in a day, my friend.

I'm assuming you've seen the e-mail titled "OBITUARY OF THE LATE MR. COMMON SENSE" You'd enjoy it if you haven't.

I have not seen such an email; please forward if you still have it.

Sent.

"My" Marshalls has had a lot of computer bags from SI lately for reasonable prices. However, I already have a nice one and a reserve, so it doesn't make sense for me to fill the attic with another. However, I love that bag and haven't seen it at any Marshall's that I've visited recently. If you go by there again, would you be willing to buy it for me & I'll send you a check for the bag a "handling fee" and give you a FedEx accont to ship it on? I'm serious!

Bravo to CM for such a pointed response. ^

3 days of class to go. It is going to be a long three days.
