Re: too many rodeos

Quoting someone in order to admonish them for relying on another's work
always struck me as slightly hypocritical. It's almost like quoting
Emerson's maxim, "Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he
dares not say 'I think,' 'I am,' but quotes some saint or sage." If you
really believed it, you wouldn't quote it.

I don't believe that I'm fighting in Salinger's armour, either. Reading and
enjoying work, to me, doesn't signify any kind of loss of individuality
within me. I simply love the work and wish to understand it further.
Daniel, I've asked it once and I'll ask it again: isn't that the purpose of
this mailing list?
