my reply:
hmm. i agree with you, as far as i can understand you; but really, how important is that? as for your last sentence, all i can say is that professors care what their students think about kafka, or at least are willing to grade them on such, and that's why my site is there. for the most part, anyway. also, though, i'm interested in other people's interpretations, just because i'm interested in human nature, personal psychology, and thought processes. as for what other people think about what i think (the comments about my site), read this: if the pig flies through the moon, the tree driveway. take care.
