I'm tactless and inconsiderate as well (there are rather a lot of us on
this group).  The way this shtick works is: you don't censor your words
until after the fact.  So, bumbling idiotboy falls on his face and smashes
someone's toes with his face.  He _apologizes_ and tries not to do it
again.

It works for me, and I can be a thickheaded git.

But hey, if you really really don't care if anyone reads what you say, do
as you please.
