I tried to send a copy of my original article to Mr. Carnes, but it was
rejected by someplace along the 13-site netpath his address had accumulated
by the time any messages get here... Sorry, Rich-- you doped out what
I said just about right anyway.

I think that the major difference between our conceptions of capital
stands in the relation of the owner (capitalist) to capital.  You are
right in saying that I consider a workingman's tools to be capital.
A point worth asking is, do you consider someone not to be a capitalist 
if he owns the capital?  Or is something not capital if it is used by
the person who owns it?  I would not agree to such a definition.
