I started to write a post with that title, but realized I was too ashamed to admit it.

de Sade said that there was a "certain voluptuousness in cruelty." Maybe that's the tease gort mentioned!; 7/21/05, 2:25 PM

Robert said...: Let's induce Ann to come clean by hypothesizing what she MIGHT be ashamed of having as a goal:

My suggestion:

Ann Althouse said...: I'm almost sure to reach the goal soon and I'll have a new post when I do saying "goal reached."; 7/23/05, 5:14 PM
Ann Althouse said...: If I reveal it before I reach it, people could help me reach it, but I don't want extra help. That would impair the value of reaching it.; 7/23/05, 5:15 PM
