attractions and distractions

[Andrew Carnie]

Hi Emily,

I'm cc:ing the whole list here just so everyone is clear -- I haven't read
your review (but will), so this was not an attack on you personally, but
upon a style of scholarly interchange that is indemic to our field (and
by NO means is it limited to practitioners of HPSG).

Best,

AC
