John-- There was no question that you "knew" Derrida in my mind in the sense that you had read his works and understood them. But it should be obvious that the language you're speaking to describe his thought is hardly common parlance to anyone who hasn't read him. It virtually requires translation. You should know that, theory aside. And it is a privilege to listen to guy who has worked with Derrida the man. Interesting. Jim PS Ah, so you do know you're speaking another language :) Good... BTW--what part of FL are you going to be in? I live in Orlando... ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
