Gryphin, you are starting to worry me. Finding my Posts funny is indeed a sign of impending mental collapse (granted, I may be exaggerating a tad bit again, but you get my meaning).
I shall live up to my reputation, Slynky. I cannot promise that said diatribe will be interesting, but it will be full of digressions and logical shortcuts.

Ah, I am digressing again.
