I never considered it a methaphor.
Huh?
I thought this was old news.
You may be right. Seems I remember posting a picture of the 'pool' in another article.

That was what my reply was to.
oddly, this topic didn't show up in a search just now, but the one I'm linking did. And ZGuy beat you. Beating Blam to the punch is rare, to say the least. I wouldn't have noticed this at long last, but there's another Siloam story and I wanted to check before I posted. :') Merry Christmas, good buddy.
