A new library patron approaches me at the front desk of the library. They tell me that they have moved from a nearby library system and now live in this system. They would like a library card. I explain how this is all going to work and then tell them it is a good thing they moved, because our system is four percent better than their old system.
"Oh." This patron responds. "What makes you four percent better?"
"It is hard to quantify." I reply. "But mostly it has to do with how much more sassy our staff is than theirs."

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
