hey krymkt34, (since nobody can remember your name on this bloddy list!)  
As if marty was the "pure authorization and sole heir to the 
disseminations of poor Friedrich's texts"  :  If I remember correctly, 
you were the poet who caused a great stir on this list; and truth as 
inertia is no illusion.  I offer Marty-pants this:
                            1)  terrible-twos; Nietzschean 
interpretations of "the little engine that could"
some people on this list write as if the concept will to power spilled 
from their lips at an early age;  I suppose they can condemn, exercising 
life-affirmation - whatever - the funny thing (and often beautiful) thing 
about Nietzsche's writings is that even the lowliest slugs who crawl out 
of the slime could find them useful. I must come out from the primordial 
ooze first, then we are "worthy" of Nietzsche.  As if there was even an 
ounce of creativity on this list.  They purport how wonderful a 
'revaluation of values' may be but never really entertain the possibilities.
I am certain dear Friedrich would rejoice at the dead philosophierens 
writing on this list; and what do artists have to do with the dead?

Oh master Marty - theist projection is a dangerous game; dissatisfied 
theists are everywhere.  "Do you believe in God?...But of course, but 
only as the master of the disjunctive syllogism!" - anti-oedipus
