I haven't been able to post to the P-list since August 6. I see (what appear to be) all the posts. I've resubscribed, then *un*subscribed and resubscribed. I'm having no trouble with any other use of email or the Internet.

Queried, O. Xymoron replies: "We're switching ISPs here, which has been causing some, ah.. interesting times."

Would you be kind enough to post this Nth attempt -- including the meta -- for me? Might as well use the header "More on IV."

I'll subscribe to that. I'm six weeks past my first reading, contemplating a second but no more urgently than I look at others in the fresh-from-Amazon stack. There didn't seem to be a lot of there there* behind or beneath the surfaces

*G. Stein's Oakland, for the map -- I expect IV will be mapped obsessively to see if Doc's travels trace out the Tibetan seal from AtD., or maybe a Graeco-Riemannian zeta.
