					<description>As a sales pitch: 
"i used to have lots to say, now I have nothing to say. Read what I have to say of facebook" isn't great.</description>

					<description>I think it's just the surprise of discovering how cogently you can frame your points.

I find if I've just written something, I automatically think how much better I could have said what I was trying to say. However, when I look back at stuff I wrote a couple of years ago, I'm surprised by how witty it seems.

(I'm talking about the stuff I've done on Rockmonkey, of course. My blog is utter tripe and probably always will be).

The other possibility, of course, is that you've been watching too many bad films and playing too many computer games and you actually are getting stupider.

I guess the only way to tell is to wait a couple of years and then re-read what you're writing now.

Of course, that won't prevent you from getting stupider in the meantime...</description>

					<description>"Maybe I just don’t feel confident enough to hold an opinion anymore, after all, anything’s arguable, isn’t it?"

Damn hippy. Write what you think like it's proven fact, like the rest of the internet does. It's more fun that way. Although the irony that I'm arguing with your opinion that everything is arguable doesn't escape me.

My CNPS: 108 by the way.</description>

					<description>StrokeyAdam: No, it's not, really. But that only really goes to prove my point about being stupider. Also, I'm not really bothered about recommending it, as I said.

Ruth: You could be right. I just look at stuff I wrote a year or so ago and think "was that me, it can't be, I must have copied from somewhere..." But maybe I'm out of practise through lack of posting.

Jimmy: Heh, yes, it is more fun that way, but it can come across as aggressive, which I've had problems with before... Well done on the irony factor, too. Damn you and your numberplate spotting sk1&#124;&#124;z.</description>
