When was reading not self-reflexive? The gutenburg galaxy is looking in on us, not vice-versa. For instance Ludwig Wittgenstein told us how language hypnotises, so learn to be a programmer. Also Joyce once wrote: "Shem was a sham and a low sham and his lowness creeped out first via foodstuffs. So low was he that he preferred Gibsen's tea-time salmon tinned, as inexpensive as pleasing, to the plumpest roeheavy lax or the friskiest parr or smolt troutlet that ever was gaffed between Leixlip and Island Bridge and many was the time he repeated in his botulism that no junglegrown pineapple ever smacked like the whoppers you shook out of Ananias' cans, Findlater and Gladstone's, Corner House, Englend.

Youve covered all points well, I was going to say: "go to hell before I tell you there". Thanks, x __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
