Eric Hoffer
20th century American philosopher

Food for thought the next time you find yourself restating the "obvious" more than once.

  2. In many cases a lack of response is a more powerful rejection than anything you could say. Not only is it "no" but it is also a rejection of the other person.

    I don't advocate that as a rule but sometimes it is appropriate.

  3. It's too bad you can't "hide" people in real life as easily as you can on Facebook.

  4. I refuse to respond to you Margo because as a wise man (or was it " wise ass", I get those two confused) once said, "a lack of response is a more powerful rejection than anything you could say."
