Dent Link Again

[Steve Sanders]

Sure thing, David.  The Dent paper looks to me like crap, not a piece of
scholarship.  

Wasn't sure if you remembered, but we've met a couple of times at
conferences and such.  I competed in the Williams Project moot court two
years ago, and I saw you at Lav Law this past fall.

Thanks for the note,

Steve
