Re: old thread

It's funny, though, that Salinger seems to confuse two things: teaching
someone how to write (I think, in the sense that he probably means
"writing," this is true), and helping someone with their writing (which I
don't think even Salinger believed you couldn't do...therefore, the
contradiction).
