Please don't archive this. If you must, then delete my posts. And I'm very surprised at the amount of attention this has received.

I let the last one of your cleverisms pass without comment. I feel obligated to pounce on this. I noticed it before and was waiting to see if anyone else would comment and since they haven't I will.

For the uninitiated, what Meta is doing is making a pun on a quote from one of the Masters of both wit and sarcasm, Sir Winston Churchill. Winston had once received a letter from a lady criticizing him (Winston) for ending a sentence with a preposition. In his typical Winston style, he retorted thus: "That is an insult, up with which, I will not put".

In my estimation it is a classic which can only be tied, never exceeded.

That I keep tossing such type things out is proof that even at my advanced state of decrepitude and cynicism hope yet springs eternal.

Many is the time I've posted something waiting for someone to catch it.

And then, when I despair of it ever happening, along comes someone like you to renew my hopes for the generations that follow mine.

Thus hath my faith been restored.
