None of what preceded the above comment (most of which was a straightforward 
summary of JS's history with the P-list)  struck me as "hagiographic," as I 
have occasionally characterized comments on this board, Millison's (often 
enough) and others; i.e., an attitude of reverence toward TP that refuses, 
and takes umbrage at, any overt criticism and which, I believe, stifles much 
potentially useful discussion.
