>Disagreeing is not necessarily the same as being harsh,

I know that, Tore! I did say 'maybe a bit harsh'. I just felt that your and 
Joseph's posts, combined, might have made me feel I was under attack, if I 
were Robin. Hey, Robin may well have felt differently.

>Summing up old stuff is perfectly fine, and the old stuff may be news to 
>some.

Of course, of course. But you mentioned Joseph's "excellent (and creatively 
paranoid) interpretation of Oedipa's name", and I don't think there was 
anything new in that interpretation.

And Joseph did seem to be verging on sneering when he alluded to 'counting 
words and then reading them like tea leaves'. Such silliness, like scrying 
in toilets, just more Ouspenskian nonsense.........
