A spin off from this topic is an alternative to Lorum Ipsum. Whenever you want to paste a block of generic text somewhere why not use this, as it has more meaning that Lorum Ipsum:

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
