Yes, but then that was really my point to you in the first
place. Wasn't it? :^|

What do you want, my email-address book? I hope you realize
that you're not getting it.

Oh I express my ideas to this list from time to time, as well
as to the indo_iranian linguistics list, phoNet, pieml, etc.,
as well as to several other lists devoted to topics other than
linguistics, including music and musical instruments, history,
archaeology, India, Iran, Eastern Europe, etc., even cooking,
and comic books.

Also, the idea that _your_ ideas are wrong, is itself an idea
worthy of broadcast. :^)

You may now look forward, Patrick, to reading about many many
of my ideas!
