But Scottie, you set the stage for that yourself. In your first post on this thread you cited yourself as an authority by virtue of the fact that you were an author. Point is, there's other authors who disagree. I mentioned these names to point that out. I also mentioned the names to point out the British participation in the ideas we've expressed. All the ideas I expressed were my own, influenced by all those names but not identical to any of them. And we academic types tend to Document our sources :) Bad, bad habit :) Jim On Fri, 03 Jul 1998 07:50:19 +0000 Scottie Bowman <bowman@mail.indigo.ie> writes: > > It's striking how many funny names are being hurled at me: > Fish, Derrida, Anderson, Atkins, Morrow, Johnson, Hartman, > Coleridge, Diderot, Barthes, Lewis, Eliot .......
