When I was little, my mom taught me, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."
I can't begin to count the number of times I've ignored that advice.

So true. Reminded me of this quote from Sir Walter Scott and its un-dated addendum:
[FONT=Helvetica, serif]O, what a tangled web we weave,[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, serif] When first we practise to deceive![/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, serif] But when we've practised for a while[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, serif] How vastly we improve our style.[/FONT]
[FONT=Helvetica, serif] ("Marmion", Sir Walter Scott, addition by J.R. Pope)
[/FONT]
I've never been able to find anything about J.R. Pope, but I like his style [FONT=Helvetica, serif] When first we practise to deceive![/FONT]

If the older generation didn't pass its knowledge along to the younger generation, we'd still be living in caves. - My father, when in my youth I complained about receiving unsolicited advice.
