Well you're allowed to be as irritating as you want for at least 10 years,
and then you'll get a warning first, so I wouldn't worry if I were you.

I hear you.  It does seem to add to the quality of the overall dialogue
tho.  Like if we were leaning over the back fence, sharing a cup of coffee,
just a nod would comment that you agreed and it'd be redundant to restate
the thing... since we can't see each other in virtual world, it's good to
"hear" from you when you think a point expresses your view.

Patterns are relatively static.  Ultimately, patterns are defined in
relation to their staticity.  Static from what perspective?  Their creation
or realization.  Where does their creation or realization arise from?  DQ!

Yeah, I know what you mean by "dangerous".  Atheists freak out when you
start throwing those kinds of terms around.  ... oh.  Wait.  You are one,
that's right.  :-)  To be sure, I'd say "eternal" is a conceptualization
generated by DQ.  But I gotta run right now.  Let's chat about this later.
