ok len you cant be blamed for thinking we were talking about
enclaves on stamps because the message title still does say
enclaves on stamps
even now
oops
but the claves we were discussing in the text you have added to
here are not the ones on the stamps that the thread began with
& that you probably still have in mind
rather these claves are not on any stamps at all that we know of
but only on a 1976 &or 1978 map
so far as we know
& i dont believe there is any question of nihilism or any other sort
of denial here
rather we were only following up on what i think chris or
someone else had previously & i think very sensibly said of
these maybeclaves
namely
ob sie je eine reale rolle gespielt haben ist unbekannt
or in plain barbarian
whether they
e v e r
actually functioned as claves
is
unknown
evidently a healthy agnosticism rather than any nihilism there
& mike
when the banter gets so shrill as this
dont you worry the turtle might stick his head up from his mozart
again as he last did in message 13685
hahahahaha
i can just see him asking us to cancel his subscription again
hahaha
certainly one of our funniest moments
but anyway i still really dont follow you here
so please just tell me
quietly & simply if possible
exactly what i am ignoring that i did say
& exactly which of your writings i am refusing to read
so i can at least consider or reconsider what you mean
& i dont think any of us is guilty of anything
but i do think we are all super heroes
in fact i am sure of it
we are all positively divine
