#geyser dislikes my propensity for using lesser-known English words on the wiki, and understandably so, since they are not ESL-friendly. But it's still preferable to being part of a community where you don't know WHAT the frack they're talking about. Cf. http://pfhorchan.org/m/, http://clique.jonirons.net/, many other sections of AlephOne community. So it could be worse. That's all I'm saying.
#Hypothesis: The length of one's post on a talk page is directly proportional to the angst one is feeling at the time. Status: Unproven, but supported by significant amount of data.
