Uh, Robin, did u happen to read the sentence I wrote after the one u quote?
The one that goes: "Not that I think my frail defenses against the
Johnsonian onslaught shld be seen as such." I guess u already fell asleep
before the "Not." Oh well, sweet dreams.
I do apologize if I have caused people on this list to want to go on strike.
I asked Kent in a recent post that he take this "outside" with me, i.e.
backchannel. He has not. But seriously, apart from posts by Luis Reyes,
David Bircumshaw and Dominic Fox most of the discussion on this list has
taken the form of small talk, which is fine. But that wld seem to be more
appropriate for backchanneling, also. Unfortunately, I don't think Kent will
ever engage with me in a serious discussion abt his heteronymic fantasies.
If people wld backchannel me requesting that I sign off from this list, then
I will. Thanks to Frank Parker and Jill Jones for listening.
David
