Could this be thought rather pompus of you both? Both of you make comments that
are usually interesting (aside from the occasional sneers) but there are some
readers who want to discuss these issues and do not have the grasp on them that
you both claim to have. If you do not like the discussion, simply delete mail entitled
"postmodernism". (And, if you do not like what list member XYZ has to say, delete
mail from "XYZ".)

This kind of brow-beating seems to be one of the main problems I've isolated with
this group, or at least some members. Is this group one which values mutual
learning/dialogue or winning arguments?
All in all though, this dialogue was very interesting, thanks for posting.
