Well did I demand?
I was asked so I answered. If you do'nt like answering then don't
qualify my connections as 'outright' superficial. Give the evidence.
Or moderate me If I become too horrible for horrible's sake.
And well are'nt some of you (or most of you) linguists like
answering questions? You feel like that are'nt you (them also and
maybe 'me'). Why the feeling of aloofness now?
These are your chances. Admittingly I am ignorant of so many things.
And I have heard this line so many times.

It is in this list's archive. Quite classical.
But anyway this is your territory so I am thinking of your
suggestion. I have very few evidences. But not as few as some that
has been suggested. So I think I am a little protruded.
Again all apologies.
