Is it or isn't it Bernie?
I hope you aren't getting sore. If so, I'd get no pleasure from it in your case though I do with some. You choose to interact with others here in a particular manner and the responses you get are a result of that. You don't do expository, spendi, and I'm sure you know that. You don't like expository. You don't read expository. You almost never quote expository nor link to it. If I or someone else forwards a proposition, you're response might be, "As assertions go, you've got nothing there compared to what Pablo managed with the white spaces in Guernica."
It's what makes you, often, a real pleasure to read. I mean that quite sincerely. You write very well indeed with consistent imaginativeness and humor and to my mind, nobody else here can match what you do. And what you do is more than worthwhile.
But it very often doesn't mesh with the expository analytic nature of much of what goes on in these threads. I'm waltzing, you are doing the rhumba and it ought not to surprise that the result is rarely pretty to watch.
