Gee that Elamite book sure looks good, and I do read French... but with this
new-fangled e-commerce, I feel so vulnerable to inevitable change. :P

I view his confusion to be the result of the underlying reality that Altaic
and Elamite are indeed related but far more distantly than he realizes. This
is stemming from issues of proper sub-classification of the Eurasiatic
languages.
Now it's not exactly reasonable to be assuming Elamite is Altaic, let alone
close to Turkic! Let's me just check out this site and...
OH MY GOD!!! THIS MAN HAS FLIPPED HIS NOGGIN!!! I'm sorry, no way! Get this
freak away from the list. We want an _informed_ Elamitist, not one prone to
asserting that Armenian is a Turkic language! Did he get his doctoral title
from a bubble gum machine?? Please tell me you're not serious, John. I'm
disappointed in you. You've been a bad boy, looking at these porno sites for
the mind like that :(
Argghhh.... work with me people!
