One tends to pick up that sort of thing in "kindergarten".

What other posts? I've not seen a single one refuting me, though
I did see one supporting my very point here, from Peter, at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cybalist/message/39423 .

Well surely you're not interested in the opinions of a person that
you consider "infantile", "ignorant", "purblind", "dense", and not
"normal", (also a "sport", whatever that's supposed to mean?!) so
I give up on you as of now. I am, however, going to ask that the
moderators keep a closer eye on you from now on, and not allow you
to inundate the list with Nostratic speculation. There are other
lists for that.
