"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt
the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man." Shaw, 1903.

Suggest titles, add comments, argue out interpretations of text, that pleasure, not profit, might result. An online, all day, halcyon nights of our youth, we might use this space to recall (or look forward to, as the case may be) undergraduate rooms, poorly lit and underheated (except in summer), ripped to the whatsits on cheap red wine from Wales and pastel pink Sobrani Cocktails. Argue once more ad nauseam on semiotics, typography, Chomsky or Lippmann without really having read, seen or understood a word of it. Don't let lack of knowledge prevent you from ranting on or off topic. Indeed, call it not rant, but philippic and damn their eyes.
