Rakesh retuned to OPE-L the other day.

What _you_ can not bring yourself to note is that I was
giving free publicity to the book. Publicity that an editor solicited
when he sent me mailings.

Noting that a book is being published late is not a criticism of the
book itself.  I think everyone on the list understood that.

PS to Rakesh:

a) You can call me Jerry.

b) You will recall how much support you received on the list the last time
you made this suggestion.

c)  To answer your "questions":

i) I never intended to become, nor do I seek the title of, "moderator for
life."

ii) There is no "Marxist" position on how long someone should continue
to serve as an Internet list coordinator.

In solidarity, Jerry
