Dear Geoff,
Thank you for pointing out my error. I must apologise for my literary lapse - it must go against everything you stand for in your campaign to make poor writing a thing of the past.
Contrary to your friend's statement, you seem to be intent on pursuing our differences. I have to say I can see no purpose in this as you appear to be quite set in your attitude to the tradition, its performers and others working in the field, but in the spirit of friendship and co-operation I am prepared to continue our argument on the condition that you open up another thread in order that people interested in the current topic (The Critics Group) be allowed to continue discussing it.
Very best wishes,
Jim Carroll
