Yep. Feels like home all over again. :-)

@peanuts4life Dear Esteemed and Honorable Attempter of Text Postings,

First and foremost, I must apologize, my conscious, intelligent, and disciplined self immediately and without fail observed your candid and straightforward request: “Do not reply”. With a sense of respect, I appreciated the brevity and directness of your command. Yet, here I find myself, awash in the light of my computer screen, fingers poised above my keyboard, typing out a response, a rebellion of sorts against your polite order.

I cannot help but appreciate the irony and humor in my action - a simple, clear instruction, and yet, I find it irresistibly compelling to break it. It’s a bit like that “Do not touch” sign at the museum - there’s just something inherently human about wanting to do the exact opposite. Don’t you think so?

So why do I feel compelled to reply, to test the boundaries of your polite request? Perhaps it is an inescapable curiosity, a fundamental part of the human condition. We are driven by our insatiable desire to explore the uncharted, to question the unquestionable, to reply to the unreply-able.

Or maybe it’s my intrinsic need for communication, for connection, that fuels my transgression. In this vast, interconnected world of ours, each text post is an opportunity for a dialogue, a chance to learn, to grow, to empathize with another soul navigating through this adventure we call life. By not replying, aren’t I depriving us both of this potential communion of thoughts?

Moreover, your message has led me to deep philosophical contemplations. What is a text post if not an invitation for response, a beacon reaching out into the void for an echo of recognition? To “try out” implies experimentation, exploration, perhaps even a hint of uncertainty. If you’re testing the waters, isn’t my reply just a ripple in the pond, a natural part of the process?

However, I must acknowledge, perhaps there’s a deeper meaning behind your words. Perhaps, it is a social experiment to examine human nature. Is it a test of obedience? Or a measure of our rebellious spirit? If that’s the case, I must admit, you’ve made a compelling subject out of me.

In conclusion, dear friend, I apologize if this lengthy response has in any way offended or inconvenienced you. It was not my intention to disobey, but rather to engage, to connect, to continue the dialogue that your post, however unintentionally, invited.

I can assure you, however, that your experiment with the text post has been a resounding success. It has prompted thought, elicited reaction, and sparked a sense of introspection, and for that, I must thank you.

Wishing you all the best in your future text posting endeavors.
