Dear Ernie,
     Err…what was the question again?

Dear Alpha Picard,
     When I first read your question, I have to admit that I was a bit puzzled.  The original question was right there in print, if you weren’t sure what it was, you could have just re-read it.  Then I thought perhaps you just didn’t understand the question.  However, looking back, it is a very straight forward question; surely you could not mis-understand it.  Then I had a long look at your personal blog and I realized that what you were actually asking me was a very deep, existential and largely rhetorical question.  So I pondered your query at great length.  I examined it from all sides and applied it to the way that I was living my life. 

I asked myself, "What was the question again?" at a time when I was able to be truly quiet.  I looked deep into myself and my entire life opened up for me in a third person point of view.  As I examined all of the events I have experienced and all the people I have met throughout all the time that I have spent on this planet we call Earth, I began to truly know myself. 

Your question has opened me to a higher state of existence, a new plane of consciousness.  I can honestly say that after reading your question, I will never be exactly the same person that I was before I read it.  From the very depths of my soul I say, "Thank-you for helping me to be so open."

Dear Ernie,
     Whaaa?
