Robert,
Yours is a very good and measured reply.
I don't mind getting a serving of email garbage once in a while,
but I don't need to take any shit for dessert.

listservs. They screw up many people's computers, and yet remain
unreadable. This has happened a couple times on the Pound listserv, and it
generates rage and frustration. Now with this manuscript, it has happened
again. I got no sense from Pearlman's response that he was attacking so
much the contents of the manuscript as the means of its delivery
(attachment) and its condition on arrival (gobbledygook).

that is compelling, I would probably want to read more. But who wants to
read a manuscript in an e-mail format, on a listserv? I don't even respond
to the really lenghthy e-mails. A Listserv just isn't the right medium for
a play-length message. In my opinion.
