You message is not at all a polite one...and I don't remember to
ofense you in any way. In my opinion you have to apologize regarding
your message above...in any case I couldn't address such a message to
somebody on this forum.
To be honest with you, seems that the subject of your irritation
has a different cause ...but this doesn't allow you in any case to
write this kind of messages, especially (but not only in this case)
when the truth is not at all on your side.
I ask myself why you don't post some interesting topics on this
forum in place of counting the number of lines in different messages
(to be more specific: Only the lines of my messages ) ? Is this a
good job to do?
As regarding the new information that exist or not, along my 80
lines: as a good 'police-man' that closely investigated and counted
the lines of my messages at least you should ask yourself what
happens regarding your police-man job, for example: if the 'rn' is
not possible in the PIE of Albanian 'sorrë' (based on the timeframes
of c^>s and of rn>rr )...
If only this small information of my message is true, this would
invalidate hundred of other lines written in different pages not only
here...so my 80 lines would represent a small quantity by comparing
with the number of lines that you will have to count...as 'useless
lines' in order to further generate such 'delicate warnings' to the
appropriate persons (as you have done in my case).
So it's not a so easy job to can detect the real useless
lines ...as you think it is (of course supposing that you made an
impartial and honest job here, and your single goal is: 'not to have
useless lines in the postings of this forum'...)
Only the Best,
Marius
P.S. As regarding the useless lines : Are you the person that wrote
that the sincopation of epenthetic vowels in Hungarian is blocked by
the "ly" ?
Well, doesn't matter who said it, I took it as a joke...
