Hi Riccardo: I believe that there is _close to_ consensus on the proposition - - both on the list and and outside of the list among those who are familar with the literature but are themselves not advocates of the TSSI. This is more than a "guess" on my part as many have come forward and told me that they agree with that conclusion based on their years of reading through the relevant literature. It is indeed remarkable that after so many years and so many publications, the TSSI has gained the support of so few additional scholars. It should also be noted that this is a theme (whether directly or indirectly stated) in so many of the critiques of the TSSI: whatever differences these critics of the TSSI have among themselves (and they have many differences!) they seem all to grasp the inherent dogmatic nature of certain TSSI perspectives. Frankly, I'm just saying what most other scholars in the field are thinking and/or have said. In solidarity, Jerry
