Should I not feel free to profer the written equivalent of a verbal grunt of affirmation in a dialogue already so rich in detail and repartee that I could contribute little else? Nay: let my twin-word post be a lesson, a hallmark of more suitable web communication and a harbinger of things to come. Eventually, and with intense counseling, it is my hope to progress to a post of merely one word; I anticipate achieving this milestone sometime within the next six months. The ideal, of course, would be to rely solely upon an errant but ostensibly witty punctuation mark, or perhaps even a smiley of uncertain provenance; but I am not yet ready to embrace such powerfully brief symbols. To wit, sir, be not disappointed or decry the decline of a persona per se; it is merely an evolution, not a devolution.
Does that clarify anything?

It clears everything up! I congratulate you on your aspirations and anticipate watching the evolution now that you have made me away of your heart's posting desires.
Oh, I needed this laugh this morning! You are one of a kind!
Laura, I now return your monetary woes thread to you.
