Re: allan ginsbergs illegitimate son


Colin,

I'm terribly sorry my browser is no longer sending my name. I did not
accuse you, but rather some other fool of atrocious language and faulty
information. Nor did I call you stupid. Your name is not "spammers,"
and in fact it appears that you have been just as puzzled by the
onslaught of bizarre commentaries designed, one suspects, to acclimate
us to the United States's bizarre foreign policy tactics.

As for being postmodern, you have mistaken me. I am, quite the
contrary, a neo-Trotskyite.

It appears that barring this last point we are on the same side. In
fact except for suspecting that I was trying to insinuate something as
to your intelligence. I, too, wish I understood why I continue getting
counterfactual hypotheses in my email. You have my deepest apologies
for any hurt this may have caused.

Matt
