Yes, hear hear! For writing Rhetorica, introducing me to the noetic field, the perlocutionary effect, kairos, etc.

We all have benefited from Rhetorica, thanks!

Thanks all!

V- I haven’t had much gumption to analyze speeches for the nomination cycle this time. But I’m hoping to get back into the swing of it for the general election.

Yes, well done and please continue. The first reference I can locate to my having recommended your blog was in February of 2004; I must have been reading for a few weeks at least by then. It has been enjoyable, informative and even persuasive. I used the phrase “noetic field” the other day in conversation, and it wasn’t in specific reference to your work, just a way to speak about the world.

I will add that I miss your analysis of candidate’s speeches. I understand that you are focused on journalism, now, which is interesting also, but your close analysis was wonderful, and has not (as far as I have found) been replaced elsewhere.

Thanks,
-V.
