Thank you Gary. 

I'm sorry that I wrote to you as I did. It was a very crappy post, not
smart, not 
fair. 

Now I'm going to do something cowardly.  I'm going to drop this whole
mess and jump in my air-force one and fly to Kansas. I'm enjoying Mr.
Nightingale's posts and Jbor has written some fine posts in reply. I
simply don't have the time to debate Bush politics and read MDMD.
Because of the crisis here in NYC, school hasn't opened yet. Monday we
open school and because so many of my students were and are involved in
the WTC I'll be reading all about these current events on a daily basis
there. 

I want to spend my time reading Dave Monroe's posts. I've saved them
all. Thanks again Dave. 

Here is a post worth re-reading,

It strikes me that the opening chapter is "realist" while the third
chapter
is "fabulist", the letters of introduction between M & D marking this
abrupt
transition from the narrative "present" to an unreliable and admittedly
subjective "memory", a memory owned by one who is self-consciously under
some pressure to tweak the tales which emanate therefrom so that they
straddle a rather wide rift between titillation and instruction and thus
wander ever further from "Truth". But leaving Wicks to one side for a
moment...snip

Cowardly yours,
