I think everyone needs to work harder to elevate their snarkiness to a
level that has at least a little artistic merit. My response to Rick
came close but was unfortunately handicapped by being too verbose and on
the loosing side of the issue. I think Richard's, "I thought everybody
was out of line. Including me," in which he combines snarkiness and
self-deprecation, hits the mark.
