Attachments on SEELANGS (was re: Sher Aspect Paper)

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear Prof. Borenstein and Seelangers:

Prof. Borenstein is right. I announced my offer to send a free copy of my
essay to anyone who requested it. I have received so far nearly seventy
(70) requests. In each case I sent my essay privately, off-line by email.
Unfortunately, I made the technical mistake of replying (i.e. sending the
essay by replying) to the Seelangs list instead of individually in two or
three cases, where the requests were sent to me NOT to my address but to
Seelangs. My deep apologies for this. When I figured out the problem, I was
myself horrified. I think I have corrected the problem. I very much hope so.

Thank you for your understanding and patience and support.

Benjamin
