> I would also suggest enslaving yourself strictly to the rules of logic
leads to a very boring style of prose that likely will never be read by
anyone than yourself and your university adviser.

I do not find that to be true.  On the contrary, I find posts by some on
this List who do not prescribe to logical discourse to be very difficult to
follow--and thus I generally skip over them unless they cite my name.

For example, in this case.  Gene here used a "straw man" fallacy that it
order to write logically, that one's writing would be so boring that it
would never be read other than by an academician.

In fact, I go out of my way to write logically, and my articles are read by
many.  Thus, the evidence at hand does not support Gene's claim.
