Ah but if I am to continue the conversation it will be in other essays and reviews. I am not going to respond to reviews because (a) that would be petty, (b) who is to say that what seems to me a 'misinterpretation' of what I said is actually wrong? Some of them seem productive in their own right and take the discussion in new directions.

No, my book was what I had to say at that time and on those points. Any further contributions make will be, and should be, elsewhere.
