   Old poster to alt.alien.visitors back in the day would see the masonic   
   "three points" bandied about (A.'.A.'., G.'.B.'.G.'., B::B:: and so on)   
   and would exclaim, "thats alot of dots!"   
      
   The line became a favorite catchphrase for taking the wind out of   
   especially inflated verbiage as being just "alot of dots." The equivalent   
   to demanding plain text or "fewer words."

   The crumpled and stained napkin notes we take home in our pockets may or   
   may not have been central to the experience, but they're all we have to   
   work with now.

   The will reflected in a glass or in moonlight.

   This is playing it forward to BE and then ZT. BE especially: Consider for   
   an example the game and play of the chess, which is a pastime of man and   
   worthy to exercise him in thought, yet by no means necessary to his life,   
   so that he sweepeth away board and pieces at the least summons of that   
   which is truly dear to him. Thus unto him this game is as it were an   
   illusion, but insofar as he entereth into the game he abideth by the rules   
   thereof, though they be of artifice and in no wise proper to his nature;   
   for in this restriction is all his pleasure.

   yeah, pretty much.
