Dear Erminia, I have never doubted your existence nor called you Ermie. As
to your retort: I don't find the statement <The Language Poets have a point>
is either dismissive nor by intention a complete description/categorization
of the LangPoets, thus hardly the occasion for satire, as you claim. Faites
ce que vous vouldrez. You can hardly be so naive, however, as to believe
nobody would read your words in the way David (approvingly) & I
(dissentingly) did. The question of the implied smear is not merely a matter
to be decided by appeal to the author's declared intention, as you as a
declared undifferentialist no doubt appreciate.
Cheers
Martin
