Please consider that a Salinger discussion list need not be exculisively for the explicit discussion of Salinger. I've made this argument many times in the past, but it's simple enough to repeat: this is a forum for Salinger fans and readers to discuss Salinger and other things. The discussion is usually informed by a Salingerian or Salinger-related viewpoint. The tissue of discussion ranges from point to point, but threads can always be traced back to Salinger. > I hope no one responds to this, because then I'll have started what I am > trying to stop.... These issues need to be discussed. Dailectic is good. clinamen -------------------------------- mkozusko@virtual.park.uga.edu
