Dear Etaonsh,

I my math is correct, thy latest message contained 503 words, of
which only 53 were about writing systems. (*)

The remaining 90% of thy post is a variety of profound thoughts which
happen to be TOTALLY OFF-TOPIC.

I prompt thee to decide whether thou hast an interest for Qalam's
boring topic, or whether thou preferst to go discussing more
interesting things in more interesting places.

Regards.
Seshat (Qalam's highly loaded moderator)


(*: The 53 on-topic words -- "For 'letter,' in the normal, broad
sense. ... the untapped potential of alphabets as mnemonic codes, or
of letters as broader symbols. ... 'Futhark' and 'rune' clearly refer
to specific families of alphabets and Germanic runes are strongly
associated with heathen culture, magic and divination, which
contributed, historically to their decline and suppression. They are
not, therefore, 'just letters,'")
