Dear Beverly:

Thanks for your prompt reply, which is attached below. I don't know
why you should feel "sorry for the way I feel" because that approach
ties one down to one way of seeing, feeling, thinking (or whatsoever).
I would prefer you (and those interested in my opinions) to consider my
recent post AN ALTERNATIVE CONSTRUAL of the movement and its acceptance
of newcomers who have minds of their own. Your reaction tells me how
much "the other pole" in such constructs is submerged and unrecognized.

I could, for example, highlight the usefulness of this list, the warm
friendship of people such as Dave Nightingale and Peter Cummins, Adrian
Fox and Harry Oxley, etc. My point remains--these people were from
overseas. I am not asking you or anyone else for a reason for the
rampant ethnocentrism in academic circles--I am frequently the only
"non-white" person here in Nebraska but I rarely let that get me
down.

My question to you is straightforward: Why publish an already published
bit of Kellyana? I refer to EUROPE'S MATRIX OF DECISION.
