I didn't post it for attention. I posted it because I got anxious and wondered what folks like Randor who were following along might have thought when they saw the article posted. Bill, I don't think you know enough about me to divine my intentions, but about 90% of my motives are anxiety driven :~, not narcissism driven.

i did not mention narcissism, or imply i "divine" your intentions: i expressed, in a metaphor, how i experience your Whitmanesque presentation

Fair enough. I don't read enough Walt Whitman, I suppose, and apparently I don't know enough people that do either. I guess I'm in with a bad crowd. :-\

maybe i'm just envious that: while i once tried to play the role of stupor mundi ... in my fractal 20's ... i did not have the technical brilliance you have achieved, young ... i was just a mush of wild images, pretending i was an artist :)

Yeah, but you can write, and absorb literature like a sponge. I can appreciate the written word but maybe not to the same degree you do. You're like a wine taster going over some of the great works out there, and I'm over here with my primitive palate going "needs hot sauce" But seriously, I'm just playing the hand I'm dealt. I mean, it's cool that I have a gift for development, but my hand also has a couple of crappy cards I've got to contend with, like mental illness. I struggle with a lot of things - even things most people don't have trouble with. Development just isn't one of them. ;)

A typical week on Codeproject: - Apple sucks - Tesla sucks - Musk sucks - Microsoft sucks - Windows sucks - Everything else sucks - I got the Diabetes - I got the Covid - My cat brings me dead rats. - A list of celebrities that died this week. Oh, hey look! Someone said something cheerful! They must be bragging, it's ruining my misery. Let's make a rude comment and then gaslight them into thinking it's just poetry.

Let them put [Iocaine powder](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMz7JBRbmNo) in all of your posts. You just need to be immune to Iocaine powder. :java:

I can remember the first day after I bought my 4k monitor. The text here on codeproject was so crisp, I thought to myself... I want to be a screen saver. :~

Bill, Sometimes it's just best to keep your thoughts to yourself.

when you become the censor of what is said on the Lounge, you can delete all my posts.

Bill. Why would I want to censor you? Why would I want to delete any of your posts?
