I really, truly hate your graphics.

So, you're a masochist?

"So, you're a masochist?"

No, I generally skip them. Once in a while I check to see if she is still substituting bad style for substance.

IMHO her message would be much better were it not overgrown with the graphical equivalent of SHOUTING AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS ALL THE TIME!!!. There is something profoundly annoying and off-putting; it makes whatever cogency not worth digging for.

I think she has some sort of mental impairment.

Boris' visits do seem to have a masochistic element, don't they?! ;)

Each to his own taste... altho I sense Boris' issue is more than a question of taste.

I posted a response to Boris on another thread (about the mathematician, Paul Erdos); Boris ignored it altho it was entirely graphics-free. ;)

 

There is a story about mathematician Paul Erdos. He cared about nothing except math. Since he did not have a bank account, when he won a prestigious prize in math, he got it in cash.

A friend and he were walking to go to dinner when Erdos was approached by a beggar. "How much will dinner be?" he asked his friend. "About $25, I think."

Erdos carefully peeled $25 from a thick wad of bills--around $5000 as I recall--and gave the rest to the beggar.

This act appears to be a perversion of one of Erdos' self-deprecating sayings, "I should be put under tutelage." (In Hungary, if a rich aristocrat became senile, his family put him under tutelage, i.e., he was given expenses but couldn't touch the capital.)
