You are a heat seeking missile and you get right to the nub.<BR/><BR/>Jams - yes, and that's why you are a source of wisdom.

Why would we blog if we weren't? If we didn't "respect our own wisdom" a teensy bit, why would we seek to share it? Most of us (and not least you, James) strive - but sometimes fail - to avoid taking ourselves too seriously. For myself, I am not nearly as irritated by someone trying to be serious and veering into pomposity as I am by someone wilfully prattling. There are many wilful prattlers in the blogosphere for every self-respecter with occasional tendencies to pomposity.Tom Painehttp://lastditch.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655026.post-56813963207880351982009-03-30T14:59:00.000+01:002009-03-30T14:59:00.000+01:00OK.I'll post it in a comments section, and if you ...OK.<BR/>I'll post it in a comments section, and if you like it you can lift it out for a blog, - or whatever you like.Sonusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655026.post-11317528604072713562009-03-30T14:41:00.000+01:002009-03-30T14:41:00.000+01:00Not everyone is going to like what you say.
