I just took down a post in which I had a terrific metaphor for my main point.  I thought.

Unfortunately, my metaphor was wrong.  So, it made my point, well, less pointed.  So,  I’ll approach the idea from a different tack.

Thanks to reader Eric for the early heads-up.

  1. Oh, I hate that! The post and pic showed in my reader so what was the issue? Was it that the anchor was somehow perfectly accessible?

    My policy when I get something terribly terribly wrong is to leave the post up, let my readers tell me what an idiot I am, and have several “beers of shame.”

  2. Spare, believe it or not.

    I thought the rest of the post made sense, but having the central part of my metaphor so competely destroyed made it untenable. So, I’ll try again later.

  3. I liked the metaphor, regardless of its truth. What was that anchor actually for in the picture?
