For your sake, I won't forward what you did actually write. Or maybe I will. Let me think about it. But this is not what you said, and I am not a liar. And you have time to retract the statement. Power works in the academy through corridor talk of which offlist email exchange is defacto a form. So there are good sociological reasons for me to forward what you actually did write. Rakesh
