... the endlessness-bottomlessness of a screen ...

Robert Fuller,author of RANKISM, tells me today, re the oped column on screening online versus reading on paper:

"I was screen-reading your long oped column, which feels like reading but with a touch of resentment regarding the screen glare, the endlessness-bottomlessness of a screen (you can't tell what you're signing up for when you begin screening, but with print you can usually tell). Plus, now, screening ties you to a big computer, and though they are getting smaller, still, you don't move from chair to chair so easily with a screen as you can with a book or magazine. So, your body begins to ache.

You've got something going here, Dan. Good luck."
