La belle Marduk corrects me:

If a man is talking in the forest and there is no woman there to hear him, is he still wrong?

Inspires some little thoughts:

1. I knew I hadn't gotten it quite right, and I appreciate having the correct text.
b. In writing it, I was a man typing alone at my desk - so I was wrong.
iii. What does this say about the future (or the past, and the present, even) of male contributions to fora such as this? Do any of you guys regularly AWADize with a woman present?
