content is the most important thing, you moron. it looks all nice and shiny, sure, but you failed to truly arive on a point. you took an awsome quote like, "There is no try," and jaded it to the point of idiocy! try again, twiddlefink.

No idea, I'm not even sure he's a real professor.

I glided by his site when he first posted that and looked at some of his other criticisms. I seem to remember that his grasp of the English language was hardly sufficient to justify the height of his horse......

And "twiddlefink" isn't in the dictionary. Sorry.

you obviously don't understand the deep meaning of the quote, "Do or do not. There is no try." and if you actually looked up tiddlywink in the dictionary... no comment.

So do you often go up to complete strangers and address them as "moron"?

And can I just add that I absolutely do understand what "Do or do not. There is no try." means. However sad it might sound to take inspiration from a movie, it's a philosophy I think has a lot of merit and forces you to be positive.
If you take a look at how you constructed your own page - the title is the page title, and the text underneath is a way of introducing yourself to the community. They are not intended to be the corresponding title and text of an article, as you seem to think.
In any case - you've missed the point if you think there's no relevance between the two. "There is no try" is up there because it's something I believe, but fits the text anyway. If you've read the HHGTTG you'll know that flying is something that you either manage to do or you don't - there's no middle ground, no trying.
And don't call me moron again or I'll get the good Doctor here to perform a body cavity search on you with his veterinary tools.....

And why, please tell, would we think to look up tiddlywink when you wrote twiddlefink?

Well that seems fair enough. I just take umbrage at total strangers marching in and throwing unwarranted abuse around - but of course, if you have received some major literary awards you might be entitled to get away with such arrogance.
And I still don't see why I should have to explain myself to the world - if you want to come in, look around, have a bit of a think and then make a hopefully interesting observation then that's cool. But remember that most writers assume their audience are thoughtful, intelligent or at least eager for knowledge and would prefer the reader to work out what they're trying to say rather than having to repeat themselves.
But your comments have made me think it's about time I rewrote my page - it's been there well over a year now, so thanks, I suppose!
