Not tho' the soldiers knew Some one had blunder'd: Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. |

12 Oct 11 - 05:16 AM (#3237674) Subject: RE: BS: WHY... From: MGM·Lion Thank you, Stower. I thought of doing so; but I had not received any PM on the matter, and consider this unexplained action without reference to me as discourteous. So I desired a public statement of the reason for it. And still do... ~Michael~ |

From: McGrath of Harlow I've always thought that "Never apologize and never explain--it's a sign of weakness" is an indication of extreme insecurity. I'm not at all sure that that wasn't what the line in the film was intended to imply. That's a comment on the quote, and the film, not on the Mudcat clones. They sometimes clamp down a bit quick on stirring, more especially when its re-stirring. |
