To which I responded:

Thanks for the great work!

And you know what 324 times nothing is right? That's right, it's nothing. You almost made something out of it with the triumphant addition of 39 exclamation marks. But you packaged it up neatly with a question mark to save the day. You are to be commended for your poignant use of repetition and punctuation to emphasize nothing. Of course I had to take the time to count them all. It's the least I could do for someone who was willing to do all this for nothing. You score extra points for for your excellent time sponging skills. Keep "it" up.

this is amazing. really. i mean, what the heck?! you're so random and can think of anything to reply to NOTHING. it's hilarious. it makes perfect sence (i mean all this talk about nothing) yet i'm still so confused. :/

Hi Jordan,

Thanks for complimenting me about nothing and how I respond to anything about nothing. I must admit though, that I do nothing -rather than respond to something someone says about nothing- more often than not.

I still think of great things to say, I just don't reply. But I wouldn't be taken seriously if I actually responded to everyone.

This is of course a reply, but it's not a very good one... so we're okay.
