Replying to LO27919 and LO27900 --
And, quoting from The Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy (HHGTTG) by the late
Douglas - "for fiscal reasons I'll be death for one year" - Adams:
"Forty-two!" yelled Loonquawl, "Is that all you've got to show for seven
and a half year million years' work?"
"I checked it very thoroughly," said the computer, "and that quite
definetely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with
you, is that you never actually known what the question is."
end of quote
Most people seem to resist the idea that the only purpose, in the long
run, is the way you purpose yourself. And there it is no purpose in trying
to convince as many people as possible of any purpose you deem reasonable.
There is no guarantee you're right and there is no safety in numbers.
Except for the odd 42, that is.
Evolve love,
Jan
