OK, since it seems important to you to compound the problem with cleverness, I’ll compound the problem (yet again, and without irony) by asking you, a supposed influencer here, this question:
How would you make clear to your followers that this thread is meant to bump to the top as a general alert when only Sal is being quoted (because, you know, we parse his every word), and that this dynamic gets f*cked when personal reactions, understandable though they may be, get voiced.
But, hey, who am I to trample on other people’s fuhreedums by suggesting this thread originally had a purpose that people have tried to keep going for some 15 years.
