> Yeah, see, this is an area where we see things differently. I agree that > anyone can have an opinion without consulting other sources. I just > don't think their opinion will mean anything, Well ... that is all a matter of opinion, and it all comes down to the never ending Section Man vs Amateur Reader debate which we will *never* resolve. I prefer to think of things in terms of validity. You could certainly say that a college professor's comment is likely to have more validity than Average Joe's. But then again, Average Joe can often come up with interpretations so perfect, so simple, so damn obvious, that College Professor clean missed them as he or she attempted to instantly delve below the surface. BTW - Paz was simply a name I pulled out of the air, I certainly have nothing against him.I don't mind him at all actually. You may be surprised to know that Baudrillard is a favourite of mine and even my Postmodernism lecturer thought he was a bit of a wanker (: I envy you all your white Christmas, it's 33 degrees here which is God knows what in Farenheidt - in the region of 90.
