    .......but there's a chapter called 'Anti-Dawkins',

    Derek:
    Yes, 'anti-Duhrung' indeed. An inherent disadvantage of having a 2-syllable
    (and indeed 7 letter) surname beginning with D. I did toy with the idea of
    calling my last JoM article 'anti-Dawkins (B)' but did wonder if the joke
    wasn't just too precious (not to say pretentious). Nice to see I'm not the
    only one with this kind of sense of humour. 'A ghost is haunting Europe,
    the ghost of memetics.....' Actually the original version of this did have
    Proudhon, or was it Kropotkin, quipping "What, is it dead already?". Ho,
    ho....
