James C.W. Ahiakpor,  
  
It is not necessarily the case that everyone agrees that you  
have demonstrated that Keynes misinterpreted Say's Law.  
For one thing, Say himself denied his own law in certain  
places, recognizing, for example, that under the Ottoman  
Empire people might conceal and not invest their earnings  
out of fear that it would be arbitrarily seized by the state.  
  
Just so this does not turn into some horribly long thread  
of people running back and forth at each other the way  
this recent Mises one did, I am not going to say any more  
on this, so you can have the last word, repeating again  
your arguments about Keynes's alleged intellectual flaws.  
(And, after all, your argument about the long run assumes  
that the classical argument about the long run is correct,  
something that Keynes rejected.)
