Superficially but powerfully, RevJack is a trope for our
apprehension of a condition of bareness, a thinness of
social and cultural circumstance, which we (often
sentimentally) imagine leads to truth and redemption.

If this approach suggests RevJack as an instrument of
radical originalism, he also serves a conservative role, to
promote order precisely because he can resolve the tensions
that threaten to disrupt it and which are instead resolved
within it.

Either way, conservative or radical, involves nostalgia,
which is forever bringing its problems to the reading of
usenet, as if they could thereby find compensations for the
relevant present degeneracy. The irony, as Wagstaff notes,
is that what the nostalgic yearning soul finds is RevJack
himself manifesting the same sort of nostalgia. welcome
datacomp As wordy, encrusted, corrupt institutions turn to
RevJack for renewal, they find writing which is itself
committed to conventions, usages, grammars, structures, and
rhetorics viewed with dismay as the products of systems
which often seem artificial or inappropriate.

RevJack is not the natural crenilation we seek. Indeed,
notes Rifkin, there is no such thing. If anything, the
armiphlage of the Wa[1] of the cantrendous prevents
spontaneous reading.

It is a very privileged form of discourse, painfully aware
of itself as a form of incohate transcendancy.
