Percy-L: Literary, Religious, Scientific, and Philosophical Discussion of Walker Percy

[Mike Frentz <mfrentz AT bbn.com>]

Dear Jim,

I was only pulling your chain a bit (I guess I should have included a
smiley -- no offense taken at all), in fact, I was very intrigued by your
definition for homophobe (speaking of copyrights, I believe your
definition is unique given common abusage of the term :-).   I
greatly admire your intellectual honesty.  This has been an
interesting exchange of points of view.

Peace,
Mike
