you replied to a single sentence with two full posts and yet you seem to think this is a more effective method of communication than a solid oneliner, brevity, soul of wit, etc.
Yes Mittani, yes I did, and I imagine that means I'd make a damned poor goon I suspect. What a shame but I believe the disappointment will pass in time.
The "one-liner" / meme-joke / perl letter script / throwaway pop-culture-theft-mechanics endlessly propagated down the goon hierarchy from the leaders to the drones and practiced as mono-cultural "passports" to goon e-respect and virtual esteem really have no compelling attraction to me beyond pure anthropomorphic curiosity Mittani. I'm sure you can understand that dear chap, but thank you for quoting the whole of my posts so reliably, it really does make me feel very special.
For the rest however, allow me to explain:
The TL:DR meme is something I consider as a hostile thought-virus resident as a parasite in the goon body politic and I take great pleasure flying in the face of your conventional "wisdom" on these matters. You chaps bring your memes and faux witticisms as the ancient conquistadors brought ailments and plague to isolated civilizations to kill them as surely as their swords and guns. (And all the while you hand out glittering but worthless trinkets of "e-praise" and "madprops" to those natives that greet you with welcome arms and happy animal faces even as they dig their own graves in witless mimicry of invader fashions)
"TL:DR" is the most common of trinkets - thoughtlessly repeated by those hoping to get "in" with the perceived "in crowd" and yet a fully obvious element in the process of cross-cultural suicide in all its gory slasher slow motion action. To accept the TL:DR trinket is to lobotomize yourself so you can better "fit in" to a dumbed down society lacking in wit and attention-span itself. Its fascinating to see which characters realize the dangers of this contamination in time to arrest its spread and which simply surrender to the inevitability of mono-cultural assimilation.
I trust that makes my thoughts clear on the matter 
In the immortal words of Dr. Perry Cox:
"Too much talking, too much talking, too much talking, too much talking, too much... talking."
