I propose that we should engage in a manner of postmanship which employs only that language

[kayakjohnny]

which was known to be highly regarded and faithfully executed by those individuals who found themselves to be among the lively and influential persons, and with certain scholastic tendencies, residing in the century immediately previous to that of our own.

If you could be so kind as to compel yourselves and your fellow contributor to this communicative apparatus, in using only the form of prose and linguistic style which was known to our fellow man, merely a century ago, and for the purpose of forwarding your thoughts on perhaps a wide and colorful array of topics and subjects which, by their very content and composition, may contain some intrinsic worth and redeeming value to the proposed conversation at hand.

And by this deed, you shall inherently exhibit to those assembled here, your willingness to oblige and your dedication to the furthering and enhancement of this narrative.

With humility and gratitude, I remain your humble servant and fellow citizen,
