    "Your pointing could use some points," I said pointedly, looking to score points and hopefully point this thread in a better direction, perhaps points north of wherever beside the point this whole pointillist collection of pointless points ever pointed a Shorthaired Pointer.

    I was told it’s rude to point.

    This is not a forum thread, but a speck of dust on your screen.

    I’d like to point out that I know there is no point to this thread, but in point of fact, I’m enjoying it immensely.

    I disagree that it's a point. It's clearly a dot. Points are dimensionless.

    More to the point:
    I don't know how to eliminate a draft.
    Can someone point me to the method?

    On the desktop version, go to "my drafts" and mouse over any part of the draft (from the preview list). An X mark should appear on the top right hand corner. Click on it and you're golden, X marks the spot.

    Closing windows might be a good place to start, then point yourself toward the doors.

    Today I had to wonder "what's the point?". Not to derail the thread, but I was so disheartened. We had all school mass this morning. Yesterday I spent most of the day designing a worship aid for the school children, and I had it in teachers' mailboxes by 3pm yesterday. This morning, most of the classes didn't have their worship aids, and there was very little participation, even in the simple things they know well like the alleluia. (Seriously, who can't repeat a simple alleluia specifically written for school children?) So, in the end, all my effort felt pointless. In the case of one teacher, she had a worship aid, but her students didn't, which makes me wonder if she simply decided she couldn't be bothered to hand them out, which is all the more frustrating.

    Then I remembered the point of it all: God.
    (But it's pointless for me to pretend that I wasn't frustrated.)

    Pointless rant, linked to in the thread on Responsa ad Dubia concerning Traditionis Custodes might be more appropriate over here: https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/articles/item/5774-vigano-on-the-responsa-ad-dubia-of-traditionis-custodes

    Serviam, in times of frustration such as those you have described, I find consolation in remembering Sturgeon's Law, as applied to human interaction: on any given subject at any given time, ninety percent of people are clueless.

    Plus: Don't attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

    At what point has one to decide that malice is the most logical explanation. To put it another way, at what point has an explanation using stupidity reached the point of no return? Not to put too fine a point on it, can stupidity be a form of malice, or malice a form of stupidity?

    I'm tempted to quote Albert Einstein (he has a point here hasn't he):
    There are two things that are infinite: stupidity and the universe;
    I'm not quite sure though about the latter.

    You can't sell stupidity - it's free. Yet far too many people (especially these days) invest way too much in it.
