FW: This is the most absurd position

[George Thompson]

Just remember what Edgar says in King Lear: This is not the stupidest while
we can still say this is the stupidest.

Or words to that effect.  Sort of.

In short: there is always a tomorrow, and who know WTF it will bring.  I
can hardly wait, myself.
