Andrew, I have no desire to stir up your feelings on this matter (the reasons for which I quite understand, by the way) so I'll simply say that --

  • I think that any censorship of any writings for paternalistic reasons is wrong in principle;

  • I sincerely hope the Literary Executors will not be persuaded by your argument;

  • I'm glad that in any case I have my first edition reprints so I can continue reading the books the way AR wrote them.

    I'm sorry if you're offended by this view as it was not my intention to give offence by stating it.

    And having said that I'll do what Alex has already done and simply agree to disagree on this question with you and those others who share your view.

    Mike
