We should be writing for "Everyman" not for every scholar.
"Everyman" will never read most of what DP has proofed. I'm currently proofing a translation of the Kashf-el-Mahjub, a Persian Sufi treatise, and Durkheim's _Elementary Forms of the Religious Life_. They will be useful to someone -- perhaps, in the case of the Durkheim, to generations of students. But not to Everyman. Everyman is reading _The Da Vinci Code_. -- Karen Lofstrom
