Dear Jon, list,
I am not sure I am able to identify with any precision that retrograde motion 
which Jon speaks about - which ideas and persons are you referring to, more 
precisely?
Do you have any more precise reference to where, in the ch. in my book we are 
discussing, I fall prey to that motion?

"I think your book will change all that, showing as it does a dicisign — that 
is, a sign complete enough to be true — must involve both iconic and indexical 
components, but does not have to be symbolic."

Gary,

That statement is the very epitome of the retrograde motion that has occurred 
in the understanding of Peirce's logic and semiotics in recent years.  If that 
really is Frederik's thesis then you have just saved me the trouble of an 
utterly futile discussion.

Regards,

Jon
