Thanks, Kev. I still don't 'get it' as a joke, since structurally, it isn't. I can, however, now rule out the possability that you aren't being absurd.

Are you just reflexively taking a potshot at Ziggy based on the fact that it was his post, or are you actually quibbling with the idea that

"Those who forget the past are condemmed to repeat it".

I mean, it's not as if that thought is new to Ziggy. And it does kind of come readily to mind when an article leads with "Looking back is a sure way to stumble". If you're so done with Ziggy that you're into the kind of thing we used to do when we responded to The Kap'n by typing I WIN!!, then fine, be my guest.

But if you rather are doing what seems to be a new habit of yours, reacting to a perfectly reasonable comment any number of reasonable people out in world might make the as if it were some sort of bizarre, fringe, crazy-ass rambling...

Well then, sir, I think the disservice is only to yourself.
