To perhaps state the obvious: Does Andy's "name" have anything to do with "Fahrenheit 451?"

He's back! I remember seeing something (I think by Llapp) on another forum link I can't find now, about someone who had just died who sounded a lot like Andy, and I found it very convincing (and sad). But to my surprise, I recently found two new (2022) comments from Andy - the one I saw today was classic Andy, starting as an offbeat humorous stream-of-consciousness rant, and ending as an informed and intelligent contribution about the author of the quote. I for one am happy to have him back. At his best, he's very funny and sharp, while at his worst, you can just skip over it. I don't know why some people get so upset over him, and I wish everyone would refrain from the eternal "take your meds" comment after his long ones, which is really not funny and makes light of a serious issue that may or may not apply to Andy.

I just found a new comment in relation to a comment on an old comment for the quote:
"Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy."

I am among the folks who have criticized Andy for the length of his comments. I also have a few very long comments out there, but the vast majority of mine are fairly terse. I've found myself thinking that brevity is the soul of wit, upon seeing many of his screeds. He occasionally has some very good points but too often I don't have the time to dig those out of the almost endless stream of consciousness that typifies them. He is the print version of some folks I know who can talk for an hour or more without stopping, and sadly that gets boring. Sometimes it seems like he is just engaging in verbal gymnastics to show how smart and well read he is. Still, I much prefer him to those whose comments seem limited to calling other people morons, etc.
