i am familiar with all of these strains.  by appealing to the net i am
merely suggesting we can discuss what procedures are involved in each of
the textual interpretations people have been offering.  it's not that i
don't know WHAT Barthes wrote or to what Gloria Monti was referring, it's just
that no-one has been able to convince me of the logical consistency of
these arguments. i hope we can discuss.....
