    Hi Joe,

    Ya' know, I've never been able to make much sense out of the things you say.
      It's certainly not because, as you remarked recently, you're a plumber.
    It's just never apparent to me how what you say matches up, refers, or,
    except in a very general sense, connects up to the things you're responding
    to in other people.

    You've surrounded yourself in an aura of Socratic irony, which by its very
    nature exudes a slight sense of superiority. You're not the only person to
    do that around here, but the effect on others is to make them a little
    annoyed. You're irony is never as thick as it is in others, but combine it
    with the confusion caused by your more conspicious obscure, nigh-invisible
    angle of commentary, and it just doesn't sit well most of the time.

    So, I wish I could say I understood what you were saying. I believe I got
    the general drift, but I'm sorry we can't strike up a dialogue to resolve,
    what I have to believe, are our apparent differences. There's just little
    way for people to get a handle on what you're saying so as not to sound
    foolish when responding to you.

    Sorry,

    Matt
