De Long belongs ...

[rws at comedu.canberra.edu.au]

.. wherever he bloody well wants to be.  There are things, important things 
sometimes, about which most can agree with him.  There are many (most, perhaps) 
about which we may not, at which times we may learn the premises and reasoning 
of hegemonic logic and publicity, and even, gasp, where we're just smugly 
holding forth without a case as unassailably developed as we thought it was 
(happens to me a lot, anyway).  His list manners are better than most, and his 
knowledge about a wide range of things is impressive and useful.  I'd miss Carl 
Remick at least as much, mind.  Anyway, Brad went of his own accord, so there's 
an end to it.  Grinding on about how his like doesn't belong on leftie lists is 
just a sad symptom of leftie exclusionism, I reckon.  Which always did make me 
groan in despair, and always will.

Cheers,
Rob.
