Now that's the most astonishing thing I've ever seen! Chuck Cosimano and I
as E.S. Plants? Chuck as you may know lives in Franklin Park Illinois (close
to wheaton) and his house mate Gerda works at Olcott, obviously details of
life at Olcott are intrinsic to their conversation. As to myself, I am too
much the object of the negative attentions of the E.S. to accept such an
accusation lightly.

I don't think either Chuck or myself have "destroyed" the conversation on
this list, livened it up perhaps, and introduced some new topics. But I
really submit that someone who is as enamored of CWL as is Liesel Deutsch
can hardly accuse someone who is totally against CWL of being an E.S.
member. The E.S. today is what CWL made it and I unreservedly disapprove of
both of them.
