Hello. I am back. For good this time.
Sort of.
I am now hijacking my own thread. Can things possibly get any more absurd?
What am I saying? It's the internet.
Of course, things can get more absurd. What was I thinking?
There are some of you who think I'm condescending - that I consider you to be children who need my wisdom (such as it is) in order to give meaning and purpose to your lives. You could not be more wrong. There has been a good reason for me to contribute what little I can offer to this forum - and only to this forum. And there is a good reason for why, from now on, I shall confine myself solely to this thread and will post not another word in any other spot on this site (other than the occasional PM). However, those reasons do not include any belief on my part that I am some kind of wise and holy sage dispensing morsels of Truth to the lowly masses.
(Honestly, I think it's rather silly for one bit of dust to consider itself to be more evolved or enlightened than any other bit of dust, don't you?)
As for what my reasons are: I'll just keep those to myself. No. I'm not being mysterious. I'm saving you from being bored to death. My reasons, believe me, are of no interest to anyone but me. If it helps some of you to believe that my contributions to this thread are nothing more than the effusion of a massive ego or guru-complex, then so be it. I can't change how you feel, nor do I want to.
If I posted something every day, several times per day, then this thread would monopolize the "recent active threads" list, and that's not a good thing. It's one thing to call a thread active when many are participating, but a thread where just one person is doing most of the posting just isn't my idea of activity. (To be blunt, it is more like futility.)
So, I'm only posting every week from now on. That's enough. Maybe too much.
Also: This is Num7's forum - not my blog. Comments (good, bad, or indifferent) are as welcome on this thread as they are on any other. I couldn't stop you even if I wanted to - and I don't want to.
Learn how impossible a task it is to fill the Universe with Humanity:
Now, go and do it.
Take care.
