Dear Thomas, I am delighted that you are able to post and excited to hear more from "the dwead anadosW." What is he going to do with our souls when he takes them? (I use "he" because "the dwead anadosW" is clearly a pseudonym, and hence not "you"). The point about the cockatiel is convincing. You win. I suppose the self-referentially incoherency of my first post ought to have been signal enough that something was wrong. If my thoughts about the world (or whatever I am thinking about) are true (and if I think them, then I think them true until shown otherwise), then they seem worthy of sharing. The self-referentially incoherent post was obviously not true, and subsequently not worth sharing. I am not worried. No one is reading this yet. -matt
