Paul, you have to stop doing this:

In threads -- particularly in the monologue base -- where it is one person presenting something, either a running log of a project they're doing, or some artistic endeavor they are sharing with us, do NOT post pages of your own thoughts and experiences related to what they are talking about, derailing the thread. Ask (brief!) questions, express your admiration or other reaction (briefly!), that's fine. But adding giant paragraphs about, for instance, your own work history to a thread someone else is creating, you have to stop doing that.
You have to.
You can make a new thread! Like, "My own work experiences that Jiz's thread reminded me of!" and then go to town. That's great! We love the content.
You have to stop barging into and ruining other people's threads.
You have to.

Why did this have to be said publicly?
There is always an inbox option.
It's like publicly shaming people is the thing around here.

This part you don't know, which is that you can email him ten thousand times a day for five years and he will never reply to, read, or even see any of them. This is the only way we have to reliably communicate with him.

I have been emailing him thirty times a day for the last 10 years. It just does not reach him.

If I don't fix this right, I had to hurry because I was being changed after a massive barfing sessopm/

Fair enough, I will make a conserted effort to do so. Or maybe a performanced effort, whatever is the next step below a concert. It's funny, as soon as you said it, I understood what you meant.
You have to.

OK.
I get the picture. I think you're telling me it was like:
"Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to

Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to let it linger?"

You didn't just respond to the same post twice, and then add a page full of (fake) song lyrics, did you?

I hope there would be two exceptions:
(1) Signatures.
(2) A thread discussing a particular song and if rlevant, its lyrics, e,g,
Escape (The Piña Colada Song): the story of two cheating bastards. The thread wiithout them would not have worked.
