   How many people find it bizarre that Henry wants to post me to
net.rumor? How many think this is a good idea? If any of you do think
it is a good idea, can you confirm it?

  Personally, I find  it bizarre that Henry thinks it isn't bizarre that
I asked 'can anyone confirm it?', which makes it bizarre that I should
post this, because I should think posting it not to be a bizarre thing
because of what I think Henry thought.

   How many people think it is bizarre that Henry wants to post a rumour
to net.rumor and not net.rumour? Not me!

Imagine what the world would be like if football was a worthy ritual performed
in stadiums but mathematics was a misunderstood activity ignored by almost all.
