No. That's not fair. You can't begin a dialogue and then insist that
it be over before the speaking is done.

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.

These issues need to be discussed. Dailectic is good.
