memoir: more email review (April and July 2019)

I've mostly been going through my "Sent" folder, so I missed the
"sadism and tactics" thread the first time.

I notice that I feel a bit of resistance to reading the "Michael
Vassar and the theory of optimal gossip" thread, even after having
broken through my resistance to doing any memoir-work at all. I guess
I can interpret the "easy" work (email review) suddenly getting a bit
harder as a prompt to switch over to the real work (actually growing
the ms.).

I do like this multi-filter process: first review my emails and
compile an outline of that to understand what I was thinking when,
then distill that into an outline of what I want to say in the ms.,
then convert that outline to actual prose. Not sure whether the second
or third step is harder.
