I have been thinking about this comment for three hours before making it. I do that for all my comments, which is why you should trust my inferences more.

Impressive.
You mean you can't predict the behavior of Wei with reliable accuracy? No wonder you are so bad at creating stationary.
Sorry to do this to you again, that spelling discussion seems to have made me hypersensitive. I think you mean stationery.
Blast.
Sorry, I made a mistake. I was thinking about the comment for two hours before posting it.
That just seems to suggest that your your hardware is slow or your software inefficient. Taking time to think over things, letting them be evaluated in the background of your mind, is a human strategy.
(Also - just writing explicit assersions quoted or paraphrased from any given subject on signalling makes the Clippy persona seem to be 'trying too hard'. It would be better to save him for the more poignant insights he sometimes serves to illustrate.)
You needed to wait another hour before posting that for it to be credible.
