Tim's response is great - very thoughtful. My answer: It depends. Is the author's "job" to write and publish? Is the commenting consumer's "job" done once they post their comment? Anyone thinking about this question probably defines their "job" and their participation idiosyncratically. This leads me to another question, but more on this later. I have to pack as I'm leaving on a jet plane, shortly. -- by the way New Green - the story about my mother in the book I sent you, has some comments on the crass sexism of the song Leaving on a Jet Plane, p. 121.Is an author's job done once their piece has been published?
