Really-From: "ROSSI J.A." <rossi@nusc.ARPA> Andrew, Now, I might have written something here which mentioned Pia Zadora, however I don't think I did (someone might comment on this), however I doubt that I would write anything concerning Experiment-IV since, to the best of my knowledge, Exp-IV is some sky watching thing that Doug Trainor had thought up. Finally concerning the proported misspellings (which I am well aware I frequently make) I never used the word libretto (or, what I must have assumed the plural you suggest I used librettos), also being a Wop all of my life I know how how to use 'I' substitutions in masculine declension plurals. If you take the time to read the sentence in which I mention the 'correct' spelling of 'Windham', you will probably notice it as a meaningless jib at Doug, spawned by the previous Windpuke Hill stuff, re- reflecting my personal opinion concerning the music of Klaus Schulze. As for infantile remarks, what can you expect from a drunk schizophrenic, who takes little, including himself, seriously. Having to deal in conventional realities on a daily basis, are hard enough without also taking them seriously ^ (before we start grammar correcting here\ the are should be an is, sorry). You see, between the dosings of chlorpromazine (soon to become haloperidol, I hope), the borders which separate 'realness' from 'unrealness' become somewhat unstable for me. This is what particularly bothers me about your assertions that asthetic values can have 'reality-based' definitions. Outside of a pragmatically defined universe (a.k.a. Piercian) there IS little reality. Head expansion. But, anyway, I wish that some light would be shed on what I said in this digest. It just occurred to me that it is possible that I wrote some fantasy involving Pia Zadora, Exp-IV and used the term librettos somewhere in these postings, in an alcohol enhanced neuroleptic state. If that is the case (and I would like to review the context, for my psychiatrist's benefit), please elaborate. Say it ain't so, Joe. John ------
