Hi Caroline,

I see our clever plan worked!  Hah!

I share Caroline's reservations about the sense in which some absences, at
least, have ontological status.  I remember when I first read it, asking
Tobin what in the world Bhaskar could mean.  I'm sure he said something
intelligent and insightful, but what I remember was his passing, joking
reference to the fact that perhaps now we really *do* know how many holes it
takes to fill Alberts Hall.  While we're at it, though, can anyone explain
what a "de-ont" is?

R.
