Dear Nikki,

Yes, I think Percy was having some fun with his friend Ken Ketner in making these remarks and I've no doubt that  Percy understanding of Peirce went right to the marrow of Peirce's triadic concept of representation  --now if I could only grasp one percent of what either were saying I'd be well on my way!

Thanks--

D'accord on the subject of understanding the 1%. But if by "having fun with Ketner" you mean to imply that WP had his tongue in his cheek or was being facetious, you've got it wrong. He was in dead earnest in his statements. Ken and I have been having a lengthy and private dialogue about the partiality of Walker's acceptance of Peirce and think we may have come up against some interesting insights, but we're (or at least I) not ready to share them just yet.

Nikki
