In case there's any question with regard my view of your manifest qualities: you are a punk, a bully, a narow-minded hero worshipper, and an ass.

Lolololololol. Utterly lame. But it certainly proves my point about list
members' imaginations or lack thereof. Not to mention the kind of
saccharin association Pound so much abhored. And add lack of talent yet
not always the good sense to realize it, to the list and kudos for an
amazing demonstration of my point. The conceit at the end is
particularly 'silly', sensually retrograde and ad hominem.

Better you and the other academes (official and otherwise) restrict
yourselves to enveloping and preserving the corpse---like formaldehyde.
I'm not saying you don't do a stellar job. I'm just saying its not of
the first order and that, as you've demonstrated below, there are
concrete and incontrovertible reasons for that. Best. CP
