They aren't -- but this is a maillist, not the political bureau of a mass revolutionary party, or even the steering committee of a mass reform party. Why was Sokal such an urgent enemy on another list? The _Nation_ doesn't bother me -- it simply began to bore me (and I found out that anything interesting or useful in it always shows up on some maillist anyhow). They clearly have hired an incompetent book review editor, however, on the basis of the two book reviews I have seen reproduced on maillists (of Gould & of Pinker). I do think it is verging on conspiracy theory to characterize those reviews as representing anything more serious than incompetence, however. Carrol > Doug
