Sometimes the reward lies in the doing, not in the done.

He's already done the doing.

Yes, I recall well the famous words of Claude Monet: "Well, I painted one scene of water lilies. That should be more than enough for a lifetime."

LOL!

I am the author of this thing, and I find your comment very amusing. ;-)

And for that same reason people knit their own scarves but they don't expect the scarf they see at the store to be hand knit.

And sometimes not.

Seems the author chose option 2 and focused on the article instead.

So often it feels like people lose track of the actual conversation happening in the comments in favor of posting a cute quip for points...

This thread originated with one poster expressing disappointment that someone of the author's acumen would choose this path, and another poster asked why the author (or someone of their skills) should have chosen a different path. I weighed in with an answer to that question.

Obviously the author did not see things the way I suggested, or else the conversation would not have happened.
