I don't get it. Your argument says we don't need a wall of text. What else could that mean? It does seem like we agree.

As far as the 'nobody:' line, generic doesn't mean it has no meaning. It means it can have different meaning based on the context.

More broadly, if you like the meme, because it's fun, put it in front of content. If you don't, remove it. Or pick and choose what you want. Subjective fun seems like a reasonable argument on why to keep parts of a meme.

I don't see why a selectively applied utilitarian argument would be compelling. Seems like we would want to remove all fluff.

Have a good one. =)

Your wall of text. Your long-ass litigation of two sentence fragments, one of which is as functional as a watermark. Its meaning is negligible. Not zero - but close.

And for all your dogged insistence on understanding, you struggle to grasp why someone would want specific details without generic fluff, unless they wanted absolutely nothing added. Like you can't conceive of a value between all and none.

And you can't stop hassling me about it like it's my fault.

Your wall of text.

Yeah, I thought about it some more, and that's what I realized you were talking about. My bad.

No I cannot. Which is why I asked multiple times. If there is such as reason, please share it with me. What is so great about specific details? As far as I can tell, it seems like a personal preference.
