You can only assume what's written on the page, and no more.I realize people have gotten upset over this sort of thing, but that's not good reason to change what we've started. The whole purpose of this thread is to introduce an idea, and see what happens when other people get hold of it. We--and I do mean "we," because I'm as guilty as anyone--lost track of that when we got deep enough into this. That, however, is our own fault, not the fault of the initial set-up. If we had rules to allow debate and alteration, as opposed to simply adding new material, we'd never have gotten past the second page. (Look what happened to Creative Exercise Two.)I'm afraid I'm going to have to stand by what I said on this one. The proper solution is, and always has been, to expand on the original. Not to change anything the original poster wrote, of course, but add details and connections as one sees fit.</blockquote>
