Writing Theory

[Mark A. Douglas]

Okay, but did the question really come before the responses, or did it spring
from the responses being written (therefore causing the necessity of the
question)?  (Which I don't mean to sound nearly as sassy as it sounds.)  It's
just a humble opinion that COL49 (and Vineland, to an extent) sprang from the
writings of GR and M&D.
