If an H&R commenter posts' a comment on a thread that no one is reading, will that comment really be posted?
Yes! No wait, no! Ahhhhhhhh......(hurled into the pit eternal peril)
I actually started reading the article, and it seemed pretty interesting, but a bit long, and I only got halfway through it, and then I stoped, and I probably won't be able to finish it, because this our busy season and I shouldn't even be stopping to skim the posts today.
So for the time being, I'm all about brevity.
