BEagle's point about it being overused is a much fairer point
While such things may be old hat to an older audience, don't forget there is a group of youngsters following behind who may have never heard of it. If such is the case, I say, bite your tongue whilst it is read, and appreciate that somebody may be gaining something.

I say this because I had cause to post on a forum here, a bit of what some would regard as oft quoted doggerel (might even have been High Flight) at aviator funerals, when a young man I once worked with passed because of C. I did not know that he had married and had a young child, but his wife saw the post and spent some three months tracking me down and ringing to thank me for the thoughts expressed - with a great deal of emotion. Just one point of view mind.
