Subject: M-I: Hi, Bryan

Oh, hi, Bryan. I didn't recognize your name at first. The "Ganter" threw me
off. I had completely forgotten your first name. I thought it was Jim or
something. You are Lisa's ex-boy friend, aren't you? How nice to hear from
you again. You are as warm on the Internet as you are in person.

You jump into the Spoons list right after a flame war with a dozen red-meat
eating Stalinists had just finished and we were licking our wounds. Then you
set about starting a completely new flame war. That was very naughty.

Look, you have to go out and get some fresh air and interact with people.
And try to quit smoking. It is ruining your youthful good looks, and her's
too. By the time you kids turn 30, you will have crow's feet.

And stop flogging that alienated and angry young revolutionary performance
art to death. That went out of style with Godard films of the early 1970s.
Come to New York and spend some time with me. I'll get you involved in some
activist politics where you will have to interact with people rather than
small-circulation journals. Come biking in Central Park with me. Are you
into bird-watching? The warblers are in all their glory as are the
blossoming fruit trees.

All the best, 

Lou
