No thanks, Kick me off the list anytime you want. I shall continue to respond in the style that I respond. I am not here to share information as if I am an information processing machine but to discuss and debate and learn. I of course have my own explanation for why Marxists such as Carrol, Jim D, and Paul Phillips get into arguments with me and themselves resort freely to ad hominem arguments. At any rate, I certainly can't be accused of laying into Phillips first! And the whole idea that debates among Marxists should not be disputatious is just--well--so not like Marx himself. Rakesh
