and in many ways is a hybrid of what we often refer to as the public and
the pricate sphere. As a result, sometimes privately styled communications
make it onto the list. So too, spelling errors, syntax problems--and these
are overlooked because of the medium. And the problems remain small.
Something in the general level of a group discourse serves as its own
buffer. And besides, didn't Catullus, one of Pound's heroes, use such
language to shock the urbane and cultured of his own day? Should we respond
to such questions and comments which contain objectionable material by
censoring? I would hope not.
