In a message dated 97-03-31 20:24:50 EST, you write:

<< YOEL
I still am not receiving Walt Jr's postings.

TILL
Neither am I. I see them only when someone responds to them. Is he
just sending them as personal messages, which the recipients then
answer on the list? >>

DAR
I think so. He used to send me stuff privately which I responded to
for a time. Then I realized that he doesn't respond to points and makes
stuff up (perhaps by accident). I told him I would take the time to put
together responses to his "stuff" if he would post it to errancy-l, but he
doesn't seem all that interested in being roasted in public. There simply
is not enough time in the day to debate people in private (as I am sure
you know Farrell and will know soon if you don't already Yoel).

cheers,

Darrel
