"No, Erthona, those were never equated."
Actually it means exactly that, for according to you "Meaning" is created in the act of reading, NOT writing", and that is the meaning that is created when I read it. You have no right to tell me what it means or doesn't mean. So how can you justify saying that "those were never equated". By whom? The writer? Sorry, but the writer has no say in the meaning of what he has written, as the meaning is created in the act of reading. At this point you are just another reader, and my interpretation is just as valid as yours. In fact my interpretation is even more valid, as I don't have the misconception of the idea, that because I wrote it, I know better what it means than the reader.
-----------------------------------------------------
Thus we reap what the modernist have sowed.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
