... Stuart, here's the way I think this quoting thing works. You count to 25. 
So this one just made it (21). I don't know if you count the arrowed-lines only 
or all the lines. But I just wanted to show you an example. Whenever you are 
posting, you might ask yourself "do I have 25 in a row?"  (Just trying to give 
you a head's up to avert a problem in the future).  

(In other business, just wanted to say that the Wittgenstein Workship in 
Chicago is going to give us a plug on their blog!)

Regards.

You say we don't need to imagine or envision it in order ...
