Go ahead. Put it on your web page. But read this first.
Belling the Cat
The mice held a meeting to decide how to sound a warning of the
approach of their great enemy, the Cat. Among many plans
proposed, the favourite one was the suggestion that a bell be tied to
the neck of the Cat. Whenever the Cat approached, the mice would
be warned by the sound of the tinkling and run away and hide
themselves in their holes. But when the mice tried to decide who
would be the one to 'bell the Cat', there was no one willing to do it.
Moral: It is easy to propose impossible remedies.
