Arthur,

What's the point of posting these excerpts? Have you anything of substance
to say about any of them, or is this just for our general benefit?

Since you mention it, it does remind me of the last Sontag troll, which, in
addition to being pointless, only resulted in a lot of flap.

What gives?

Guy
