  26. Not that I wish to slam myself firmly to one side or other of the
  27. objecto v legito flamwar, but I would like to see some further
  28. developement of your (vaguely stated) ideas. I know that objectos,
  29. especially those who more properly should be called Randians, seem
  30. to have a tendancy toward snide drive-by ad hominem remarks, 
  31. inspiring same from the rest of the philosophical community.
  32.  
  33. I think that you may have a finger on the root of this difficulty,
  34. and if you could spell it out for us undergrads, I would be
  35. grateful.
