Subject: Re: FDPFR Conference on paperclips and the user
Jane, as my friend and colleague, I hope you won't mind me pointing out that your very reference to the paperclip as 'rusty' indicates an objectivist and teleological mindset.
I feel this must be explored in the 'Paperclip as contested site of power.'
Sorry, I mean 'paperclip' not paperclip.
Sincerely,
Joy

Subject: Re: FDPFR Conference on paperclips and the user
I'm disappointed that the conference won't be tackling the vexed question of the effective removal
and safe disposal of rusty paperclips. Health and safety if of great concern here.
