"One wonders why you post 50 thread starters a day . . . "

CONTEXT ADDED BY ADMIN:
END OF CONTEXT
and become trite and borderline insulting when a real discussion breaks out . . . would you prefer the first 50 threads to be single Spaceheater posts?
Insanity is said to be repeating the same thing over and over and expecting a different result . . . excuse me while I schedule some couch time.
Of course . . . there is Iggy's quote, in it I find some hope for me.

"To preserve [the] independence [of the people,] we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:39
