So free association is less than ideal is what you're getting at?

If you abstract away enough, you will always get to "X is less than ideal".

Food is less than ideal, war is less than ideal, death is less than ideal, HN is less than ideal.

Are you satisfied with this sort of Twitter-like posting and thinking? I am not.

Pixels are basically free and we should strive to post more than one-sentence snarks. For one-sentence snarks and drive-by dismissals, Reddit is the ideal territory.

Indeed, you seem to enjoy long rambly paragraphs, which you are entitled to.

The time and attention of your fellows is valuable and merits some thought before writing. Conciseness and clarity are more valuable than the number of pixels used to type a sentence.

Good luck going forward
