Emptiness…

Pour out all your emptiness…

Empty it all out.

Seriously?

Do you think sending me this many messages (and there were more than shown) all to the same eMail address within a short span of time is really going to convince me to buy from you?

Seriously?

You seriously think this is going to make me want to buy rather than despise you even more than the typical spammer?

Seriously?

Are you brain dead? Have you ever thought about checking your ill-gotten, scraped, purchased, borrowed, stolen or whatever eMail lists for duplicates? Have you?

Morons.

Makes it hard to comment on a post when there’s nothing there, eh?

No swearing, just blankness.

…don’t say anything at all.

Oh? That’s not the saying?

Close enough.

This unfinished draft is from February 7, 2010. Here is what was in it…

Yeah, nothing. Completely blank.

I guess there weren’t multiple questions for “Ask dcr” after all.

Still none.

How sad.

Less work for me though!

Okay, digging through the draft archives again, I found this unfinished post from February 15th of this year:

hb

do you thin whao

I have absolutely no idea what that was supposed to be.

Did I actually type that or did WordPress autosave a bunch of random letters?

What I did post on the 15th was that it was my 1997th post.

So, what the above was supposed to be, I have no idea.

Also, I bet you read the title and thought I was talking about beer, didn’t you? Shame, shame.

Digging through the archives, here’s one from June 26, 2008. I’ve never finished it, obviously. I’m probably never going to finish it. So, here it is, such that it is, so that you can takeaway some small amount of advice.

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Note that he said a “foolish consistency is the hobgoblin” and not just consistency itself. Much like many people think that money is the root of all evil, when the actual quote was that the “love of money is the root of all evil,” some people tend to overlook the modifiers and completely misunderstand the quote.

Consistency can be a good thing, if done for a specific reason or reasons and not just for consistency’s sake alone. You certainly don’t want to consistently do something that doesn’t work. That would be a foolish consistency! But, you do want to maintain consistency where something does work, or where you are still evaluating whether something works or not.

Cool. I get to recycle this from the first Friday the 13th of 2012.
