An obsessive reader of my blog would yesterday have seen three different versions of the previous post. In the first version, I wrote something that, read in the manner intended, seemed okay. However, it could be read another way, that was very definately not something I wanted to say. So, a couple of hours later, I revised the text to say something else. But, although the new version was better, it still left me rather uneasy, and so I took down the offending paragraph entirely.
I have decided not to revisit it at all. The topic that is touched on is rather grim and depressing, and although I have strong opinions on the matter, actually expressing those opinions runs a very great risk of saying the wrong thing. And, given the nature of the topic, I feel it is therefore best to say nothing at all.

I find that only after a good long while do I know someone well enough to know that they're going to take what I say in the manner intended. Unfortunately people seem to read the worst into things we say rather than the best (which is almost always what I intend). I suspect the same is true of you as well. So yeah, internet probably not the way to go.
I am not obsessive enough, clearly... But I am very grateful that somebody I tagged did the meme requested! :)
Ah, but did you guess any of the fascinating facts?
I didn't guess them, but I wasn't surprised by them. (Does that worry you?!) I was, however, very impressed with numbers two and five.
