This is the way most of the threads end...not with a bang, but with a whimper
Edit: And a subtle reference to "The Hollow Men" to boot. Surprised 'Wasteland' didn't creep in... great restraint.

Hmm... T.S. Eliot on a slow Friday afternoon.
In the room the women sit and kvetch
Talking of Aron Nimzowitsch.
Openings:
And how should I begin?
For I have known them all already, known them all-
Oh, do not ask, "What is it?"
1)a3's my play, don't throw a fit.
Planning:
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
Is this a good plan:
I am no prophet - and here's no great matter,
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker.
Pins:
And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall.
Q sac:
And indeed there will be time,
To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?"
GB:
I grow old...I grow old...
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled,
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous,
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse.
Moose:
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till my opponent mates me and I drown.

You've explained it nicely for palynka. He might accuse you of being non-linear. Kurtz he is not. Too many hearts lost in the darkness perhaps...
Recent events lead to the Hollow Men homage. RIP RHPGF.
