I think this guy's a riot! Self-effacing humour is not easy to do,
but he's really good at it. That wonderful phrase a bit further back
in this thread where he referred to his 'fiercely truculent' whining
is one deserving preservation.
It's a shame the brilliance is lost somewhat by the use a keyboard
that has no <Shift> key. I've found a lot of these wonderful musings
too much effort to read. I'm not familiar with exotic keyboard
layouts, but perhaps the Norwegian one uses <Shift> for something mere
non-Nordics wouldn't understand. Pity that.
