In constructing the ideal type "the ultimate netwit," never forget this characteristic: You very patiently wade through a 50 post discussion with the netwit, trying not to lose your temper as he continually sidetracks, evades, brings up irrelevancies, and so on. Finally, faced with the same idea you thought you had handled 4 different times before in the conversation, and realizing that you've been neglecting real work for 3 days, you give up. Inevitably, at that point the netwit writes, "Ah, so you've got no answer for my last point, do you?"

Japan, unable to stop onslaught on their goal, is crushed by Paraguay, nothing-to-nothing.

I've recommended this as a great book shop -- and it is in terms of offerings. However, the people working the counter are not particularly effusive, but until today I was able to overlook this. But today whoever was working hung up on me in the middle of questions. Twice. Frustrated, I called back but found he was now refusing to answer. I called back periodically during the afternoon, not getting an answer. But then , I began getting messages from this guy -- telling me I should go kill myself, and that he had looked up my address in their records and knew where I lived! Customer service by the psychopathic! Maybe don't shop there after all.

"What can never be done is to reduce what has had to be learned in order to excel at such a type of [concrete] activity to the application of rules. There will of course at any particular stage in the historical development of such a form of activity be a stock of maxims which are used to characterize what is taken at that stage to be the best practice so far. But knowing how to apply these maxims is itself a capacity which cannot be specified by further rules, and the greatest achievements in each area at each stage always exhibit a freedom to violate the present established maxims, so that achievement proceeds both by rule-keeping and by rule-breaking. And there are never any rules to prescribe when it is the one rather than the other that we must do if we are to pursue excellence." -- Alasdair MacIntyre

We'll see. CORRECTION: I meant to write, "Will All My Post Titles Be Questions from Now On?"
