 and misunderstood things like how entropy figures in his stories, or
 overemphasized science and math and other things while neglecting other
 more important concerns or simply "wasted" great energy exercising what
 two critiques have called "exegetical drive." All good exercise, as another
 critique says, or strenuous, training in " 'negative capability' ", provided,
 after flip-flopping one is mature enough to keep cool but care.  BTW,
 everything I've ever posted here I shoplifted from the great on-line store
 of literary criticism, spell/grammar check not included

One thing for sure, entropy on the p-list never shows any sign of
increasing. We just go on forever--but where other lists and other gals
satiate in time the p-list (and gals) makes hungry for more where most it
satisfies. If I only had a brain, a heart, the nerve, I'll follow you both
down that yellow brick road to paradise . . .
