Zen: Actually, people who know me think I can be quite humorous.
I have intentionally bled the humor from most of posts of late, because the humor has a bite and I'm trying to be a kinder, gentler person.
But I suspect, even with a good dash of humor, hilarity even, you would not find my views palatable. And that's fine.
I respect Snackman and consider him a friend. However, I do think he takes a little more on faith than I'm comfortable with. And it doesn't seem to bother him at all when deployment is regularly predicted and then never happens.
I used to be the same kind of believer. But being burned so often by rosy predictions has made me much more careful.
But to your original point, I don't think it is the lack of humor that grates--I think it is my views. If you want more wit with contrarian views than is offered in this quarter, perhaps you could kindly skip over my posts. That would be true reciprocation and would greatly reduce board clutter and the needless sacrifice of so many electrons for so little purpose.
