Ok; I was saying I read your mails as showing a bit of a mean streak, in that you take a bit of writing about soul and jazz and dogs and attack it for asserting some fixed essence; I find Merle's writing to reflect a more fluid and dynamic view, and the gap feels to me to be a bit mean, regardless of your intention. But of course, it would not surprise me that I am being oversensitive.
