    One of my rather rare 'sincere' questions.

    You write, Jim: '... I've almost always had at least 
    one or two readers who either knew what I was 
    doing, or what I was trying to do ...'  
    
    When you received that feedback you seem to have
    been happy that your INTENTION had been 
    recognised by at least some of your readers.  You say,
    quite rightly, that if this had not taken place the blame
    could be placed either on their stupidity or your 
    incompetence.  

    But do you really assert that you would grant equal 
    value to the most 'mistaken' interpretation by 
    the stupidest of your fellow group members 
    about a piece that you yourself had just written?
