I must apologise for this post if it seems a little incoherent in places; yesterday evening I had written it all out in full, and I couldn’t have been happier with it, but then Steemit decided to delete the entirety of it and I became enraged with the power of a thousand suns. Now you have this version - the lesser, deformed, and ill-remembered son of an opus that shall never be. It is a lesson learnt, and I will now continue drafting my posts the only way I know how – with a slate and chisel. Thanks for reading.
