If the works of Stalin, Mao and Tito or moi have been significant figures
in your life, then why not salute them? Perhaps RP is gently reminding us
all that this is purported to be a literature and philosophy List and not a
psychological counselling list or a Post Your Gripe Here List. Or perhaps
he thought that some of us might not be aware that it is his birthday and
would appreciate knowing. Me? I only like and celebrate myself -- and
Whitman, of course. Gotta go with THE dude, you know. Anyway, happy
birthday, Witters! (even if it does seem a bit ironic to celebrate the
birth of people who are dead. We don't celebrate Death day. Or do we?

? No ?

Sounds threatening.
Maybe you already knew that this was Wittgenstein's birthday, from
which it follows...?
Good to hear from you.
