Jerry,
I think you should cool it. Rakesh is often annoying, often stimulating,
often very sensible. I don't think you're either sexist or racist, but
obviously sociobiology has very heavy political implications and Rakesh is
right to point that out. I think it would be best to let the matter lie and
get on with the substantive discussions which are sometimes boring,
sometimes interesting. With that I return to the depths in which I lurk.
