Ask MetaChat: Does the document contain data?
Preliminary answer: No. The document contains no data.

The problem is that data is an undefined field. Sometimes the "data" which we must define here as drivel or madness and ranting goes over the edge into insanity and irrelevance and it throws the underlying whatsis of the metaphoric thingummy into a completely FUBARed state of GIGO.

Not so much, no.

I happen to have extra data, should anyone need some.

Toss it this way, please, mudpuppie.

I found some data once. It was lost, frightened, fragmented, alone; kicked out on its bits like trash by an unforgiving document.

I took it in, packed it, massaged it.
I told it that there was no longer any ownership, and in return, it let me set its sticky bit.

I sent that data back into the world; optimized and recycled.

I haven't seen that data since. It lives in no directory in my home. I like to think that it's out in the world somewhere bringing joy to whatever documents it fills.

You say that as if it were a bad thing. (nsfw)
