Hi David:
 
The anonymous member of the "Friends of Charles Darwin" who wrote the page,
http://darwin.gruts.com/articles/2000/marx/, _was_ sorry to see it go.  This
is how the page concluded:
 
          "I must admit to having experienced a certain degree of
           disappointment on learning that the famous *Das Kapital*
           dedication chestnut was a myth. On reflection, however,
           I like to think that Darwin would have approved of the
           sort of reasoning that questioned a cherished long-standing
           belief and of the search for literary *missing links* that
           eventually led to the truth. That's what science and
           historical research are all about".
 
I think Marx would have concurred with that.
 
In solidarity, Jerry
