dmb, p.s. I forgot about sarcasm. Probably because it has been the transparent medium in which our discussions are suspended. I think I rely on it so much because unlike all of the techniques listed previously, it is the only one that seems to pierce the fog. Something of what I have attempted, through whatever amalgam of style and substance makes it through. The aim is to upend your predictable patterns; to include some kind of GOTO statement to force you out of your repeating loops, as in:
666: GOTO Hell But in the end the satisfaction of having something understood is tarnished when after some brief wobble you return to stasis. I guess there truly is a force in strange attractors beyond my poor powers to add or subtract. Regretfully yours, Krimel dmb, Frankly, I think over the past few days: I have spewed out reams of substantive points. I have spell them out with detailed examples. I have appealed to authoritative references. I have called upon both Mythos and Logos. I have used prose and poetry. I have used multiple voices. I have consulted the archives. I have attempted to evoke emotion. I have appealed to reason. I have pleaded and poked fun. I have played with punctuation. I have mixed and matched all of the above. I apologize for the poverty of my efforts. In the end the best I can do is as dust. I have tried to take what you have said and respond to the substance of your remarks as near as I can make it out. I am never sure whether I am talking down to you or over your head and responses like this one do little to clarify the mystery. If you were to accuse ME of posting too much I'd have to buy it. At last we would have common ground. If you see no substance in any of the styles I have attempted, I am at a loss. I don't know what else to tell you except: "'Vanity of vanities,' sayth the Lord. All is vanity..." "...'tis better to be a live dog than a dead Lion..."
