Bruce, On Matt's promptings, we did start work on a FAQ that you know is lying abandoned at http://members.tripod.com/~SundeepDougal/faq.html and I do remember your sending me mail on Rilke which I was able to locate just now, but I do also have vague recollections of your sending me another mail (which unfortunately I cannot locate. I had put off reading and responding to it then) offering an altenative explanation to Matt's on the Suicide. This may be as good a time as any to reopen that can of worms, in particular now that Matt's back. If you can find it, then could you either mail it to me or to the list? We'd better catch Matt before he slips off again. I think Stephen's covered just about everything and keeps his site nicely updated, and Matt and I had then thought to fill in the gaps. But plenty remains I am sure. I have got time on my hand for another week or so, I think, so am game for all contributions and to improve the general layouts and such too. Of course we couldn't hope for a better editor than Scottie, if he'd agree. Sonny PS: No idea on the other diss. you mention. I am just being lazy to look up the Alsen book, but it was I think Sumitra Panikker or something similar that he mentions. But I'd love to read Matt's, if he'd put it up somewhere.
