<I'd no more hesitate to call a female iridologist a quack >

Please do! Not doing that, would be unfair to both that lady and
your gentleman-like behavior, to say nothing about iridology. David,
I'd be grateful if you'd restrict expression of your unprofessional
opinion to one of the more specialized medical fora. Non supra
crepidam ! As to the previous extension of tags to people, which you
expressed so ungentlemanly, why don't you keep the ad rem standard ?
For the ad hominem, please remove your quotes when you talk about me
as a Dr. As far as I am concerned, cybalist is not a forum for
libel. Please represent information you care to discuss in an
appropriate matter, or admit disinformation or slander, with all
legal consequences. Thank you !

<A rational mind doesn't believe in... >
Do you have to *believe in data, or just *look at them, in order to
be a rationalist ?

In any case, for linguistical matters, let us go back to cybalist.
You are kindly invited to exert your competence there, in comments
about etyma for Crãciun, Romanian for Christmas.
