It's only when you're unsure of yourself that you repeat the same
"subject matter" over and over, Phil. Well, I suppose sometimes you
forget what you said, so you say it again or argue with it, but that's
a personal quirk on your part.

- you would not make a good journalist, nor a
jurer, come to that

Ya mean, just cause I'd sit there making little nooses out of pieces
of string, and drawing my index finger across my throat periodically?
They'd know I was only funnin' a little, wouldn't they?

but this is but pain or enthusiasm, until you know yourself why you write
anything at all, you cannot explain it to me

But I've never tried to explain to you why I write. In fact, I'm
unable to explain to myself why I write to you. Given your inability
to understand less complicated issues, why waste the bandwidth? I
mean, there's only a few billion terabytes to go around.
