>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.

>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.........
