There is obviously sore need for a "you're trying too hard" image macro to be retroactively inserted at SOME point in this thread. But at WHAT point? Aye, there's the rub...
Few would be so lacking in perception and acknowledgment of the moment of hyperbole that is vital to all humour as to want to insert it at or anterior to post no. 5.
But few, on the other hand, would be so indulgent of said moment's tendency to tedious hypertrophy as to raise very vehement objection had its seal of disapproval been appended to post 7, or 8, or 9.
When, though, ought an objection raised without vehemence to have been, by rights, no objection raised at all? At 9? At 8? At 7?
And when would even the mildest of reprimands have been tantamount to carping for envious carping's sake? At 7? At 6? At 5?
