So far you've only been talking about yourself. Do you have any other subjects you're interested in? Lawrence _____ From: lit-ideas-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:lit-ideas-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jack Spratt Sent: Sunday, September 03, 2006 7:16 PM To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: Song of Myself Sir, I am sorry to say that you sound hopelessly naive about our world. Your allusions to the hoi polloi, Andy and Geary are odd to me and your wise guy attitude is strange. I am trying with some humor to put aside identity mazes and just have some intelligent conversation and a bit of fun. When I first signed on I found the response to my posts welcoming and intelligent, but this chatter from you gives me pause. Bruce Wayne What we don't have at hand is a worthy enemy, Robin.

Let's have suggestions from the hoi polloi as to what employment would require that one "cannot" divulge their identity to a list voluntarily joined. Or, if we are feeling adventurous, let's decide who/what Jack Spratt is. The easiest answer is that Spratt is another incarnation of the ongoing Irene/Amago psycho-drama. Will we see Andirene arguing with itself? A variation on this theme is that we have another Andirene, playing 'Secret Agent Jack Spratt, Super Spy'. Or is it Geary working out a character issue from his almost-finished novel? If we are going to be playing with pseudonyms, shouldn't the list participants have a part? If the pseudonym 'Jack Spratt' is for the list, than we might have some fun with the character.
