This is the entire posting.  I hate postings like this.  This contributes
nothing to a discussion, is not clever, has no merit that I can see.
In ordinary verbal conversation, a few "Hmm"s and "Yeah, go on"s might
be necessary to keep the ball rolling, but not on a net distributed
posting.  It's a waste.

Stamp out pointless postings.
