   Well, I don't really know for sure what *he* meant by posting it, but I can   
   guess that he was attempting to say that despite my occasional complete   
   objections to his argumentative form, I'm somehow "stuck" here in this forum   
   with him and his musings.   
      
   As for my interpretation of the cover:   
      
   The title of the album is a subtle joke. Pink Floyd don't write dance music   
   and never have. The illustration shows restrained dancers (I.E. *not* dancing).   
      
   What's interesting, though, is that the lines anchoring them to the ground   
   aren't arbitrary, but are the lines of motion, preventing them from moving   
   specifically in a particular path. If it were possible for them to suddenly   
   stop being in the middle of    
   their dance, they could easily move about more or less freely - so what's   
   actually holding them still, if not the ropes?   
      
   Something something causality.
