Jerry, Why not submit to CoPE a critical analysis of TSSI and see if they publish it? In fact I would guess that they are most interested in submissions critical of TSSI; Kliman and Freeman seem to enjoy debating Mongiovi, Foley, Laibman, Mohun and Venziani. My guess is that CoPE would publish a short note by me on their apparent mis-handling of the use value aspects of the accumulation process. You seem most concerned with v=0 assumption. I don't remember any other substantive criticism. Which is amazing given how much ink you have given to TSSI personalities. At any rate, your note would be a short critical one. And since no one else seems to agree with you that it's an important criticism in itself, I don't think you'll have to worry about competitive submissions. It's of course possible that other critics of TSSI would not agree with you about the importance of your one critical point. But that would not result from a lack of commitment to pluralism. At any rate, I am glad to see that you are refreshed and forward looking after another summer of solitary boating. I do wonder why Gary who has actually published on the topic is less suspicious of the CoPE's editors' intentions than you are. Of course Gary has an exemplary record of publishing rival interpretations to his own in his excellent journal. And perhaps he is willing to assume the best of others. Rakesh
