Says Andrew: "You wouldn't say to somebody who is first learning to play the guitar, 'You better think really hard about where you put your fingers on the guitar neck before you strum, because you only get to strum once, and that's it.

The Walters of the world don't mid being assholes; what matters to them is being right. — Tim Kreider
