i'm afraid i cannot apologize because i am not quite sure what i am being
accused of. i suppose my crime can only be that i have once again
attempted to make a point about salinger and the messages i get out of his
works (in addition to how they relate in my life), only to be criticized
for my views. maybe i can't express myself and my ideas as well as the
rest of the list, but at least i try.

thank you for the defense. it is nice to know that some people can take my
ideas and think about them rather than criticize me for the way i see
things.
i think i am inclined to agree with your theory that neither matt nor i had
changed but rather saw each other in our true forms, without the prejudices
we may have held in the past.
thank you for reading through this. i am afraid i will henceforth be
inclined to refrain from posting until i am sure that my ideas can be read,
interpreted, and not misunderstood. i'm sorry if my sentence structure is
wrong or hard to read. that's just the way it has always been.

*for those of you who would be inclined to complain about my writing in
lower case letters might i point out that e.e. cummings tended to write in
lower case letters...and i've never heard anyone accuse him of being lazy!*
