It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt – Mark Twain.
This is more of an appeal than a post. It is an appeal to those who are totally and utterly stupid that they please heed the excellent advice of Mr Twain above. Therefore it is of course not, I hasten to add, aimed at my readers. However, for those for whom this is too much to take in and they are chatterboxes, at least resist from using the World Wide Web by proving it in writing.
Ah Yes…
I get that we all say daft things. Sometimes, as a girlfriend of mine used to say, my switch between thought and speech can be firmly off. However when enough time passes from the formulation of the initial thought, the thinking ‘I might post that online’, going to a device that enables one to do so and then watching ones fingers (I am making the assumption that none of the characters with whom I am about to acquaint you can touch-type) type the words onto a forum with more than 100 million users, something ought to say, ‘hang on, is this sensible?’ and then ‘stop’.
