Still, it`s not exactly what you`d call 'going out on a limb',
is it? If someone publishes a book or an article insisting that
there are 22 different 'types' of human being, and 462 possible
poems, of which 432 have been written, which leaves us 30 to squabble
over, I suppose we`ll be ready with the instant riposte.
