Hi Mike,

I understand and appreciate your point, and I can't say I wouldn't have a similar reaction if someone did the same thing to Heart of Darkness, so no problem there. I'm not going to rescind my objections, but I did attach a disclaimer saying that I was responding to the first part of the book alone, and to pinpoint what exactly I found objectionable in the sections I read - for reasons that are probably very personal to me.

It genuinely surprises me that Long was an elections supervisor in Bosnia after the genocide, but that's really good to know.

I hope that relieves your fury at least a little bit, and I look forward to seeing you around!
