Actually, Hugh, I was quite certain. It's called "irony." If you want a
wonderful source of examples, reread Malecki's posts. Of course, in his
case, it's unintentional. One certainty that remains certain is that a post
by you will be composed of platitudes and quotations, without a single
piece of solid analysis. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, Hugh.

I find it difficult to share your faith that the Eternal Feminine can draw
us to where we're going to.
