My name's Ed. Joined the Bananafish list on 6-22. All this talk about
capitals, basics....just makes me want to go into town for a hamburger
and a movie. If I've seen the movie then I'm just gonna hang around
the luncheonette and play some pinball. On the topic or off the topic
its the peoples' list (yeah, you'll all probably go ahead and kill me
for not remembering the proper apostrophe position in the plural
possession of peoples); each individual can take it where he/she wants
to, even if its stuff that I have no interest in. I'd have thought I'd
see a lot more postings about Salinger (I know this leads to the
inevitable reply - 'So why not post a couple yourself Buddy?') but
maybe a Salinger subject or two has gotten all talked out before I came
on board and people have moved on to other areas....to close, I think
Bell Hooks is cool!
