   I mean that the Eric you portray is the real Eric. On your word. Hail Eris.   
      
   It is not a matter of finding things that are incredibly profound, as you say.   
      
   It is a matter of finding [i]bread crumbs[/i], remembering that you have found   
   them, and connecting them to others. It's about [i]connections[/i]. It about   
   context.   
      
   Though of course, some bread crumbs seem to be 'larger' than others.
