Yes. Admittedly a 'throwaway' example but one would perhaps not post

I am not sure that it matters. The piece was written to size requirements
and
to some extent to content requirements on a general theme of taking
something
ridiculous or pointless and treating it with the utmost seriousness.
In this instance, I implied that a common occurrence with no real mystery
attached to it was being subjected to serious scientific research.
I posted it here in the vain hope that it might encourage the reader****p
(if
there is a reader****p here) to post something of their own, perhaps
without
worrying about what others may think of it.
