Default And Now, For Something Completely Different...

An example of a perfectly-executed thread closure!

Here.

1. On time.

2. On target.

3. For the right purpose.

4. No further input desired or required, so far as I was able to tell.

Nice move, Swift - kudos!

I mean, this poor thread's been locked twice.

As I said in the report I sent on it- The more you justify control, the more control you will grant yourself.

Of course, there's a corollary: the more you complain, the more you will find to complain about.

Although that may, at times, be the case- you would need to demonstrate that that is what I am actually doing before attempting to assign such a "corollary" to my posts.

He's not assigning any "corollary" to your posts. "The more you justify control..." is a general statement. So is "The more you complain..."

No direct statement on the speaker required.
