     This is to announce to all and sundry that I shall be 
removing myself from all internet lists for the remainder 
of the calendar year.  Until August 5 I shall be email 
accessible at my usual address, rosserjb-AT-jmu.edu.  After 
that I expect to be email incommunicado.
     However, I shall be accessible after August 5 by phone 
and fax at
33-1-45-38-6806 and by snail mail at
Reid Hall
4, rue de Chevreuse
75006 Paris France.
     Throughout the entire period, snail mail addressed to 
my permanent professional address will be forwarded to me.  
That is
Department of Economics
James Madison University
Harrisonburg, VA 22807 USA.
     Before departing let me indulge myself in a few 
remarks regarding these lists.
     First, despite my often deep disagreements with him 
and my occasionally pompous and personalistic exchanges 
with him, I would like to congratulate Louis Godena for his 
efforts as moderator of marxism-and-sciences and as a 
co-mod for marxism-international (congrats to all other 
co-mods on these lists as well).  Especial kudos for your 
coup in obtaining Richard Lewontin for M-Sci and good luck 
on the book memorializing our dearly departed Lisa Rogers.  
Of course, Louis, I want to suggest that you be careful 
with that precision machinery of yours, or you might end up 
drilling a hole all the way through Widener Library and 
accidentally drowning yourself in a "Swiss chalet," :-).
     To marxism-thaxis:  Now I know what a near death 
experience is like.  Whatever happened to Ralph Dumain 
anyway?
     To bob malecki:  Your apologies are accepted, :-).
     To Louis P. and Jerry L.:  A red star for each of you 
for avoiding any flame wars with each other recently.  A 
gold star to Louis P. for avoiding any with me in the 
recent months.  Hey, Louis P., you're turning into such a 
pussycat, maybe we'll put you in charge of this year's girl 
scout cookie drive!, :-).
     To Doug Henwood:  Hey, man, when are you going to get 
a real job like trading bonds so that you don't have enough 
time to hover over every internet list in the known 
universe?  I mean, post what?  Give us a break!  Anyway, 
that way maybe some of us could make some money for a 
change, or at least some small change.  But then, that's 
just pure speculation, :-).
     To anybody not around when I reappear next year, it's 
been fun knowing you.  Behave yourselves while I'm gone!
