Fortunately, originality isn't important in this thread.

Unfortunately, it probably IS important to read a few previous posts beforehand (which I didn't).
Why do people say they 'slept like a baby', when babies only sleep for 2 hours at a time?

Fortunately, you don't live in Wales, and thus won't be attacked for posting that statement by an angry (but harmonic!) Welsh male choir.

Fortunately, r_b isn't leaving until July (see his blog), so he has plenty of time to stop in here and meet the Grande Dame.

Unfortunately, I messed up and therefore wasted several hours spent on coursework.

Fortunately, there's a solution out there somewhere.
What's the subject?

Fortunately, we have ways of communicating that don't involve face-to-face contact. (even though it's still far superior to anything else)

Unfortunately, I disagree.
Communicating via text is easier, faster and cheaper.

Fortunately, I can argue that.
While it can be easier, the problem is: you can't get enough detail into it, especially when looking for help on a certain subject.
