Hope you will be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks, I will look forward to that.

Out of curiousity, I contacted Gregg Simpson. He really does not seem 
to have any idea of surrealism differing in any way from sunday 
school morality. I have sent him a polite message back, referring to 
the erotic interests (in a very non-specific manner) of Breton, 
Mansour, Svankmajer et al. I will be interested to see if he responds 
reasonably, or if he will prove to be a sexual hysteric, as I suspect 
him to be.

I don't think it is particularly my desire to be endlessly rude to 
everyone, or even anyone, but I do think people should be able to 
fend for themselves a bit in debate, and if a bit of very moderate, 
but honest and forthright speech offends him, well, he will certainly 
feel the rough edge of my virtual tongue.

Lets face it, if he is going to be offended every time someone brings 
up the subject of sex, we will never get very far, will we?
