Hyla, you forgot to add one important part to that:

The way I heard it is:

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

rhetorical, of course! just look at the statement "a man talking alone in the forest.." wrong, wrong, wrong! there is plenty of work to do at home! What the hell is he doing alone in the forest.. and if he has to ask, he knows he is wrong!

Hyla, provoking us with, "If a man is talking by himself in the forest, is he still wrong?", has thrown us into hyla-anarchic chaos.

He's out there chopping wood to keep your delicate toesies warm. You gone need it to keep the stove going and all that hot food coming

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?

Wondered who'd jump on that opportunity first - should have known it would be you, Seņor TEd.

No charge for the set-up.

As with God and the tree: there's always a woman present.
Not necesarily a lady, though ...

And exactly where do you hang out that there are often women who are not 'ladies' hanging about?
