	Greg,

	I don't wish to argue about Joyce with you, especially on this list.
Obviously I have nothing to tell you about it, other than my thoughts.
Perhaps I will try and participate more in the Joyce list in the future
where I have been lurking for a year. Now that you have refreshed my
interest in U when I was re-reading a bit of it this evening. That is what
is great about these listserves -- and ultimately the best reason to be in
them.

	I just meant that perhaps the c sound and the c letter were both apples.
Bad analogy. Sorry for the inclarity.

	We ARE waiting. Maybe I should first write something that invokes math and
literature under one name, and then critique it under another. Let's make
this a little philsophical. Would that be an unethical thing to do? Are
there any cases where someone actually critqued his/her own work under a
pseudonym? Any famous forgeries out there? 

	My apologies to Pat Sloane for taking the Fibonacci football and running
with it way out of bounds. No disrespect was intended.

as always
I am wolff-like
