I'm in accord with the above. Please get rid of the risqué avatars, signature pictures, etc.

Best wishes,

PS "More honored in the breach than in the observance" in Hamlet is meant to convey that it was a nasty tradition which should be breached. I.e., there is more honor in breaching it than in observing it, or the spirit of the custom is best honored by breaching the substance of the custom. I'm not quite sure which of these, but I would probably go for the former. ;) (Perhaps this belongs in the "phrases" threads.)

HORATIO

...

[ A flourish of trumpets, and ordnance shot off, within ]

What does this mean, my lord?

HAMLET

The king doth wake to-night and takes his rouse,
Keeps wassail, and the swaggering up-spring reels;
And, as he drains his draughts of Rhenish down,
The kettle-drum and trumpet thus bray out
The triumph of his pledge.

HORATIO

Is it a custom?

HAMLET

Ay, marry, is't:
But to my mind, though I am native here
And to the manner born, it is a custom
More honour'd in the breach than the observance.
This heavy-headed revel east and west
Makes us traduced and tax'd of other nations:
They clepe us drunkards, and with swinish phrase
Soil our addition; and indeed it takes
From our achievements, though perform'd at height,
The pith and marrow of our attribute.
