<<Since I just posted some comments very critical of
a
contemporary book, this struck home. I don't know whether
Fred
had me and my maunderings in mind, but he's right in any
case.
I hadn't considered the possibility of the author's being
on
the list, and I should have. Thanks for the
caution.>>
>From the private correspondence I receive, I gather
that rara-avis is
read by a lot of people who are not subscribers. I don't know
if this is
a good or a bad thing, since comments here (mine, at least)
are
spontaneous and casual, not journalistic or scholarly
articles.
Nevertheless, I would suggest avoiding the kinds of comments
that can
destroy a career.
