Hi all Well, dmb, Ant, Khoo, you forced me to put the original record on my gold colored Marantz TT 120 Static Vinyl Pattern Decoder. The picture in mind that comes up when listening is associated with a visit long ago to France and a certain french bathroom in Marseille. (the kind with just a hole in the floor). "From the bottom of the seat...."
My point was not to be to exact about dmb and other's roles in the drama. I just wanted to picture a view, a distance to it. I think Marsha's position was the most accurate. "For such is the nature of men, that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty, or more eloquent, or more learned; Yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves: For they see their own wit at hand, and other men's at a distance." Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan XIII I must include Marsha and other women into that. Anyone looking into a mirror or reading a static number of letters in a certain order, will see what they themselve are capable of understanding, just as anyone looking into a mirror only see what their own face look like. With or without glasses. How can you be so sure about the quality of your own sight? Have you ever heard this question while being beside her: "Am I pretty?" or "Aren't we cute?" You Are What You See. The DQ is in you while you're playing that guitar in front of your bedroom mirror, dreaming to say "Fuck" on stage. Dmb is perfectly correct when he places the intellectual patterns on top of the others. IP is the ultimate base for our communication and understanding of each other here. Disrespecting that is a certain evidence of misunderstanding basic MOQ but an excellent trigger for a public debate. I think sex is best when both parts are even anyway. For better or worse.
