Please take it easy. The fur flies occasionally here, people make gaffes or take offence and stop posting only to return after a week or two, but I, for one, enjoy this place. Cyril (the moderator) has had to intervene two or three times so far. Go ahead, sound as educated as you wish and see what happens. I'm sure you'll find kindred souls here.Piotr
Claude writes:I recently subscribed to this list, since IE is the root of 90% of all the languages I am interested in.BUT in the very short time I was here, people have been at each other's throats about African culture, some poor uneducated man remarked that Putin means whore and insulted a simple play in Latin........and flaming seems to be commonplace here.SInce I do not wish to leave this very informative and terrific list, could I please request that the moderator enforce a greater amount of list policy? It is highly irritating to try and sound educated in the midst of a linguistic food fight.
