My good man, fine fellow, distinguished poster of succinct bait. Do not, please, merely assert your views, but do so with fascinating tidbits, that I may not only gain your opinion, but also some insight into the brilliance with birthed it. The humble request of an unlearned gentleman, certainly, but I must ask it nonetheless.
