MMV: Context

[Dave Monroe]

No one snipes more constantly than you, Robt.  Nor is
anyone snippier.  Me, i snip.  Cut.  Paste.  Whatever.
 I'm generally not so presumptious as to presume that
my own observations will be what is of primary
interest in the discussion at large, so ... so raw
material.  Sometimes stream of consciously.  Use it or
not.  Me, I generally skip all the (snippy, sniping)
commentary you presumably spend your astonishingly
copious free time on (I've often neither time nor
patience), scanning instead for the inevitable
snippety snipety moment(a).  See, e.g., below.  Face
it, Roberto, this just plain isn't "your" list, no
matter how much you'd like it all, lifeforms, accreted
debris, whatever, to orbit around you as the
self-deluded star at its center.  You seemingly dream
of speaking from the podium, down at us,
uninterrupted, whilst we swoon and scribble ("50 pens
...").  I'm guessing this sin't going on in real life,
as I can't imagine anyone actually teaching would have
the time for this the way you do, but ... well, seeing
as the Austrlian cent is a bit shy of three quarters
of yr good ol' American penny ....
