You seem to speak from experience quite often of late.

Sort of like some Revolutionary War re-enactment, their standard
showing crossed J-38s with snarl background and the motto above,
"Learn code or die!"

J-38's in the Revolutionary War? Could you describe what a "snarl
background" might look like? Would it involve any of those "message
knuckles" you described in an earlier post?

They keep falling on the field of battle, the ground littered with pieces
of ham-band-aid wrappings.

That's quite an active imagination you have.

Snarls and epithets they still have,

Are you certain that it isn't Sneers and epaulets?

a sort of dying gasp of egos...all they have left.

That would seem to describe your place in things.

All that about a hobby. Hi hi.

....one in which you play no part.
