Maybe this reveals something very deep about my psyche. Maybe it's evidence of some insecurity or significant character flaw.

Don't you think that the empty space adds weight to what would otherwise be a pretty lightweight comment? Anyway, nice try at that last comment attempting to get this thread back to the subject of what an awesome photographer and/or god you are. But you really need to permit folk like Zen and me hijack the topic in the comments. After all, we learned that art of comment hijacks from the god of comment hijacking.

The empty space adds weight to what would otherwise be pretty lightweight posts. And it makes the posts longer, leaving readers with the impression that they're getting more blog-reading value.<br /><br />Also, I like the idea that I'm continuing the tradition of the 'unblogger' - as you once referred to me.
