Dear Jean,
 Best stick to French as when you write in English it tends towards the
gutter as the idiomatic expression goes. You say it's a "crime," and that
your hardrive is getting all "polluted" with accursed writing so to
speak. A little too harsh, you are passionate I see, as we *all* are on
this list. As far as your memory is concerned of previous so-called
"collaborations"; did this really happen? The archives are there if you
want to jog your memory but my memory says it didn't, nothing serious
certainly came of anything before me and you started posting. If you
have any experience of academic lists, you very well know how little
serious collaboration and exchange in fact occurs. The only exception
that I know of is the Heidegger list. Mostly it is dead air and no
comunication and passionate interaction however possible or impossible 
ever happens. Not everybody writes clearly but I can and yet I will not
be bound by clarity as I intend to explore other paths of expression
on this list as many of us do. As I have already said there is room for
the more normative academic style that you are used to. All it takes is
the effort of posting and leading discussions to make of the list what
you wish it to be so that you can profit from it and take whatever
utilitarian advantage that you want to take from the list which is very
okay sometimes. The animals here could use a teacher to make them more
civilized and better readers of Bataille. You are welcome to help me
out in this laudable project without project. Like I said, if your
patient and put effort into it you *will* get more of what you are
looking for. I am not saying that you should be polite, in fact, your
responses so far are very Bataille list gutter level, accursed, on the
lower-class type of response if I could be classicist for a second.

A la Bataille,
Ariosto
