Thought-provoking in its simplicity.

Shika - I'm glad you noticed the 'prize' I didn't think many people would or they would think it was a typo.

joanie - its interesting how structure can change meaning so much. Your suggestion is clever. I like the balance in the original though.

Thanks
Stephen

Hi Stephen.
This is like a portal to the universe! It is amazingly effective and goes to show just how much can be said in so few words!
