Subject: insider status?
Date: Sat, 03 May 2003 03:55:05 +0000


I found the post you are refering to interesting and challenging as an 
American and from Indiana. Why be so bothered by something which escapes or 
eludes immediate recogition?  Is that bothersome to an academic? Perhaps 
coming from an anthropological background I find it interesting rather than 
bothersome to my ego.  Is it the Deleuzian language? or is it language in 
general?
