It occurs to me that such a rule would censor most of your posts,
Erminia. I have seldom read anything more pointless than your last
five or six, which were devoted to abusing Trevor and the list, to no
good purpose that I could see. I fail to see how a discussion of a
limited part of Barthes' thought, that tired old chestnut the "death
of the author", will inaugurate your new era of "originality", since
these things have been hashed to tepid mush in the past three
decades. Ho hum.
Back to some real work.
