Nothing. It means absolutely nothing.

But in a chemical stupor, I can almost see how it might be mistaken for something.

Not sure. It's not 3 in the morning and I'm not drunk, but it may mean that it's the thought that counts. ;)

The quote is not complete. In the article the full quote is:

everytime there's a triumph in the world a million souls hafta be trampled on.-altman Its true. But treasure each triumph as they come.

I'm guessing Altman has said the first part (the part before the "-altman"). Kind of cynical, the idea that in order to triumph others must be discarded. But Lindsay is saying that you should still treasure each triumph, even though the cost is high.

The "Be Adequite" wasn't with the quote at all, it's her "sign-off", between "Thank you", and her name. Don't know what that means, except maybe it's another thing Altman said, she seems to draw from several things he might have said in his life, maybe things he said during the filming of the movie.

I too am bothered about attacking a girl who has just written a condolence letter.
