JD:

I happen to be programming the front page of the largest Web portal on the
Net. Forgive me if my grammar is not up to par, Professor. Your comments are
revolting, sir. Instead of putting out a fire (which began because someone
referenced my email signature and not an article on the world's worst poet),
you're adding nonsensical fuel to it.

Have a lovely weekend.

"Who is truly great? I hope you can develop the ability to discern true
human greatness. A great person is someone who forges unity among human
beings through sincere dialogue, armed with a solid philosophy, feet firmly
planted on the ground. A great person is one who lives among the people and
earns their unshakable trust. Fickle popularity and temporary fads are
nothing but illusions."
