Well, recent dialog elsewhere on this forum has allowed me to finally analyze a baffling phenomenon as being a lovely symmetry. The two halves are:
1. People don't comment on what I write.
2. People disagree with me over things I didn't write.
We'll pause for a brief dramatic reading:
"I'll have the ham and cheese on rye please, but leave off the mayonnaise."
"I'm sorry sir, but we're out of mayonnaise today. Could I leave off mustard instead?"
Now, I invite comment on this:
"Although the Moon is smaller than the Earth, it is farther away."
Their will be no prize for the best critique. But extra credit will be given to those who seem to have read it before commenting.
