Thanks for the reminder about this dubdub (I think we discussed it once but ages ago, prolly in relation to one of cara's much-loved terms of rhetoric!). Unless I am misreading it the competion closed some time back.
One of my favourite modern sages, dear old Mencken conjured this sharp chiastic observation:
"It is the dull man who is always sure, and the sure man who is always dull."
I wonder where William James Lampton was describing when he wrote:
"Where the corn is full of kernels
And the colonels full of corn."
