downvoted by 4 points! my most ever! musta hit a nerve!

i'm sure this _looks_ like a non-informative post, at least to some of you, so let me explain exactly why i made it...

mine was the first comment on this post, which languished for an hour with nothing, and looked to be on its way to being ignored totally, like the vast majority of posts...

i made a comment so people would come and look and maybe, just maybe, add a more meaty one of their own. it worked.

i wanted the entry to get some attention, because i believe s.v.g. is a highly underutilized format, and that has been true for about a decade now, more or less, so even though i don't have a lot to say about the topic, because i know so little about it, i wanted to say "right on, thank you!".

which is exactly what "yay" meant...

could i have dressed it up with a little fat on the bones, so it was more than just "yay"? yes, i could have. easily.

but at heart, it still woulda been nothing more than "yay".

so i decided to go with _the_plain_truth_of_the_matter_.

and if you want to down-vote that, then go ahead and do it.

i don't really give a dxmn. i don't have that much "karma", and i don't intend to spend much time trying to procure it, so your little brownie-points don't mean jxck-shxt to me...

(they certainly don't deserve any unadulterated profanity!)

this post got some attention, and i did my part to help it, so i'm quite happy with what i did. and i'll do it again.
