Plus which, I never said anything about Paul's status as an authority on MMY; interesting how you read that in. Being an authority and allowing one's bias to interfere with one's understanding of facts are not mutually exclusive. And how are the current misinterpretations a manifestation of "writer's ego" as opposed to just plain ego? For that matter, are misinterpretations due to "writer's ego" somehow less significant than those due to ordinary ego? Why is "writer's ego" privileged? Especially when a writer--at least a published one--is in a position to influence large numbers of readers? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Dying to be thin?
