Farts, you seem to be missing the point of maybe logic and e-prime.

Oh, I know about.  I think it's a hoot and much better than the language that we've grown for ourselves to this point.  I just don't think it makes much difference either way.

Will we have E-prime versions of Finnegans Wake?  That's what I need to know.

Forcing poetry through E-Prime is missing the point, IMO.

I appear to never have said it appeared as what I consider the point most likely was to me.

What were we talking about?
or
What was the subject of the apparent previous conversation that we seemed to particpate in?

You were just about to explain why e-prime and maybe logic didn't seem ultimately that important, in your opinion.

I mean, ultimately, I'm gonna die either way.
