Well sure, that's because most people don't have anything
interesting to say.

However, one _should_ yell louder if one actually does discover
anything worthwhile.  It's not that yelling is wrong, it is just
that most people seem to do things in the wrong order (yell
first and discover something interesting later or maybe never).

Yah, and probably enough for now.

I feel like I am creeping out from under my pragmatic language deficit.
