plus, I had no idea that my partner, the weatherguessers, the storm chasers, the Florida Power guy, my sister-in-law's psychic, the city water department, physicians and nurses, and most drivers in the US were pomos.
heck, we might not have even had the word 'text' to kick around along with the po-mos were someone around in the 14th century to get a hitch in his get-a-long that someone dared used it outside of its ken.
Jerry, you are a smart guy. Is it really that hard to figure out the whole thing about writing/speech in Derrida's stuff? So hard to figure out why people use the word text and talking about "reading" a videogame. Your argument re text/reading is just freakin' sloppy.
