In my criticsm of signature pithy sayings, I should have emphasized
more strongly that I'm against them in those groups devoted to
serious topics such as talk.political.theory. It's dismaying to see
a skillful writer carelessly allow the system to append a bit of
fluff he probably dreamed up while browsing in soc.singles.
In soc.singles, however, it would be great stuff.
