I'm choosing to spend time trying to save other people time, and giving them a gift of an alternative viewpoint.

That's my choice to make - it's one of the ways I try to make the world better.

Besides, I type really fast.

(now see if you can work out when I'm being sarcastic, and when I'm being genuine.)

Versus making the world better with a little whimsy?

Both take 30 seconds to read. Both are essentially a waste of time. I guess we might argue somebody, somewhere finds diatribe engaging. Whimsy also has its audience, witness the gentle soul who made the original post.

Look, let's just agree to disagree. You find it whimsical and gently amusing. I find it an infuriating waste of my time and about as funny as a whoopee cushion. I've made my case, you've made yours. I claim that doing this will needlessly annoy paying customers. You think it doesn't matter.

Now I really won't waste any more time on it.

No no, both keep going... I'm getting popcorn.
