Richard,
If Nostratic were that important unto itself you
wouldn't need to include the following in the group description:
>>, flaming, and off-topic discussions will
not be tolerated. Issues that will be considered off-topic include, but are not
limited to, quasi-theories that some or all languages derive from an arbitrarily
proposed common source, as well as speculation about the origin of human speech.
Discussions that focus on matters specific to an individual language or language
family should be taken to more appropriate fora, for example cybalist or pieml
for PIE. Likewise, discussions that focus on phonetics should be taken to
phoNet. <<
Yes, the problem is that there is a limited number
of things to discuss pertaining to Nostratic.
