I never called you a quasi-marxian, Justin.  My only sin is that I
wrote to the other spooners on September 21:

This is similar to what Lisa had suggested on August 27.  She wrote:

Then Lisa gave a complimentary description of the discussion
going on at the time and the people involved, and then she wrote:

> You know what I mean?  Any suggestions?  Should we make a list called

It is my view that a name like marxian-theory or marxism-nonorthodox
would be a good name for the successor of M2, but I didn't mean to
push it because I knew it might be considered a putdown, and I did not
want to offend anyone.

Hans.
