John, according to you, you have no accurate position for me to do anything
with all I have is your texts which I read in accordance with my grammar to
derive meaning, hey, what your position is , is irrelevant according to you,
you aren't interested in people just texts remember. Well, all I have is
texts on this screen. Who the heck is this John Omlor you keep
referencing? Is it another text? Or bodies of texts? How can you ever
know what my ethics are? All you know are texts remember.

"John actually does not see texts as texts with a field of meaning but
rather a body of thought of an author."

It's nice that you feel no need, Daniel, to even try and accurately state my
position. And it indicates something interesting about your own ethics of
reading.

I said I base my view of Derrida "on all he has written."

Those, and I really didn't know I had to go this slowly, would be called
"texts."

I base my view of his work on the texts he has signed. I don't know what a
phrase like "the body of thought of an author" actually means. And I don't
really care, either. It is not a phrase which interests me.

Thanks,

--John
