That's okay. I'm ditching this one. I just realised it is an anagram for Adolf Hitler.

Well, almost (Ill Hatred Of).

Becoming proficient at public self-loathing is a suitable skill to cultivate. There are probably many other similarities.

We can pretty much all agree with that. You just don't get it.

Mark Twain wrote a funny letter about hearing only one side of a phone conversation.

This is the price of having a net. Really cool people can communicate ad libendum. In exchange, one merely has to parse an endless stream of distilled stupidity to find the S in the N.

No. I mean this is a non sequitur. The first sentence does not introduce a similarity to which the second sentence refers. But I expressed my incredulity lightly ("I don't get it") because I assumed the author of this abortive post was either in his dotage or a moron, and took pity.

Now look what you've made me do.
