Why is it that in IM conversations some people stick to you like flies to the proverbial crap?
New to IM Person: OK we’ll meet there
Other Person: Cool, bye. [conversation is over in theory]
New Person: Cheers see you then – its at 6 right?[nope, its started again. Rule 1. do not end with a question]
Other Person: Yup, Cheers
New Person: what do you think of Swedenborg’s Arcana Coelestia? [it was over, you should have stopped and you’ve started again. Rule 2. look for hints]
Other Person: I think its total bollocks, gotta run
New Person: Yeah I guess so, BTW, did we say 6?[GOTO line 2340, please sod off now. Rule 3. don’t ever read philosophers, they can’t write and they create more questions than people can answer – a bit like some people on IM]
etc, etc.
