   I suggest that writing an "in my humble opinion" disclaimer in every   
   post, whether explicit or implied, is an imbecilic expression of arrogance.   
      
   True humility is never explicitly expressed, it is not something   
   stenciled on a sweatshirt, it is something the perceiver may grasp, or not.   
      
   Of-itself humility is not very useful.   
      
   Since your every post has the sole objective of enticing others to read   
   your spoonfed pap, please do not feel obligated to waste any more of   
   your time in a pretense of discussion.
