My dear RC; sorry; I would have thought that after all the quoting of 
Deleuze that has been going on, referring to "D-man" would have been a pretty
obvious in-thing.  Apparently not.

But here is a question for you.  How in the word do you know that the
use of these "alien terms" such as assemblage, milieu, derive,
deterritorialization is _not_ the best possible way of saying the things
that the people who use them are saying?  Do you think that everything can
be said best using only the language that you already understand?  That 
a 2-year old child already understands?  Or what is the exact criterion
you are proposing?  In _whose_ already pre-formed language do things have
to be expressed to meet your standards?

If you think Deleuze's and the SI's terms are downright ugly (a perception
I completely fail to share), I very warmly invite you to say these things
in more beautiful terms, in terms you find more acceptable, in "as few words
as possible".  For me, right now, it is quite a difficult task to say 
some of these things _at all_, in any language.
