That's pretty easy.  The hypocrisy, but I'd rather call it the
contradiction,  is not contingent but inherent, necessary, essential.
It's no mere error on Otto's or David's or Paul's or Doug's part,  but
built into the structure of writing. Any post to the p-list including
ones whose purpose is to inhibit other posts is doomed to produce still
more such posts. Writing does not settle questions but creates more
questions and more writing.

See above. :-)
