Martin, Thank you. Yeterday, I was merely responding to Candice's silly and smarmy smear, though it was a gentler version of the kind she bizarrely slung my way during the jihad last month launched by David Hess and his spontaneously-combusting adjutant, Carlo Parcelli. But as I said, I don't want to get back into the whole issue. Let it be. But I DO want to respond to one thing you said. You said, >I am impelled to comment on the recent "Lind-wurm thread (the dragon of > >formalism) and the turn to the aggrieved putdown in your last mail... No Martin, shining knight: The "dragon of formalism" is a fierce and good and many-headed dragon. Please don't think I've thought a meeting here with Lind and comrades, who are, at best, a broken horn on the one senile head at the torso's far right, would be for purposes of slaying "formalism". Not at all. Long live formalism. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
