I'm not in my role as moderator - I'm just a participant trying to have a discussion about the topic. It's just a Coffee House thread. My introductory post wasn't meant to be interpreted so strictly. Discuss anything you like about and with ForeverYoung and his opinions about everyone over there, because then at least you'll be on-topic.
I just looked at your posts in this thread. You're trying to discuss the topic with him here. Sorry if I wasn't clear - obviously the other thread is for anyone who would rather discuss ForeverYoung than the topic.
Omigod, I know who David Foster Wallace is, or was. I read his first book when it first came out because it received good reviews from NPR and Newsweek. What about him made you suggest looking him up?
I should still have his first book (The Broom of the System), but it's not on my bookshelf - have no idea why.
