I love that there seem to be more articulate and thoughtful members who can write on the board that I've ever seen.
So great!

Are you seconding the second sentiment, or the first sentiment? (I need to know in case I decide to third one of them...or second, whichever the case may be...but I'm uncertain at the moment. I'm leaning toward thirding the second sentiment though...assuming you are seconding it.)
Third in the Irish sense.
I agree. One of the best things about this board is that the writing, and people's commentary, is generally at least mostly coherent and somewhat carefully considered. I hate the general trend (accelerated by the web) towards not only a lack of formality in writing, but also a lack of cohesive, easy to decipher thought. If you're an English speaker, and I can't in any way follow what the heck you've written, then you need to think about a better way to write it.
I'm embarrassed when I make a typo or editing mistake in my writing. I feel that self-editing one's writing, even online posts, is the writing equivalent to thinking before you speak, a principle which too many people these days ignore as well!
I should add that I edited this post three times. Once before posting, and twice after. That's what you call practicing what you preach!

The main sentiment. Wit...so few truly possess it.

Well at least you’re honest about it. ?
I'm reporting this to the UCLA!
I’m not sure about the need for eloquence but everyone’s prose being relatively easy to understand on this forum definitely helps!
Worry not, we shall corrupt them in short order. The race to the bottom can be quite competitive round these parts. 
No, no!... Report it to the Y.M.C.A....they’ll give it a good workout!
It’s fun to stay ....
If you’re _____.
This is an Internet forum of pipe dweebs not a scholarly publication. ?
