Asked Questions

Obviously, I'd like to call this page 'Frequently Asked Questions', but I'd be lying if I did, since no-one has in fact asked me anything at all about Swallow apart from the URL, and then only rarely.

Despite the obvious and widespread lack of interest generated by Swallow, there are nevertheless a number of things I would like to preempt, in the extremely unlikely event that anyone did want to know the answers to them.

(Readers should be aware that this is in fact version 3.0 of the AQ. Pedants should be aware that I am following a non-standard numbering convention here.)

1 - What is the point of Swallow?

None.

2 - Why isn't Swallow very good?

See previous answer.

3 - Can I contribute?

You need to ask?

4 - What is Swallow about?

Nothing

5 - What do you mean, nothing?

Nothing. Which bit of the answer don't you understand?

6 - Oh I see. Like Seinfeld?

No. Not like Seinfeld. Seinfeld claims to be about nothing, but it isn't about nothing. I have yet to see an episode of Seinfeld that wasn't about a group of middle class New Yorkers and the minutae of their daily lives. Swallow, on the other hand, is really about nothing. And you see where that's got me.

7 - Nowhere?

Yes.
