So I should be ashamed to have listened to and enjoyed everyone on this
list?
So I should be ashamed of even *joining* this list rather than simply
letting the name `Salinger' drift over my martini between epigrams as I
take luncheon with my cronies and readjust my monocle?
So I should be ashamed of actually learning a lot from being on this list?
>From both official and unofficial teachers?
So I should be ashamed of allegedly wasting three years of my life
listening to teachers who were obviously just in it for the money and their
own glory?
I should also be ashamed of letting a few Posts and Structurals creep into
my thoughts and my writings?
In a lot of ways, I feel very, very sorry for you. I won't use Jim's
succinct language, but can I just ask one more time - why *are* you here if
you can't stand the whole basis of our discourse here? Are you just a
computer generated factor which has been programmed to stop the list
becoming stagnant?
To everyone else - thanks, and without any guilt, I have learnt a lot and
hope I have taught you a bit too. Cause that's what *I'm* here for.
