Arnaud,
we are not in Communist China, where one must read Mao;
nor in Saudi Arabia, where one must read the Qur'ân.
We are all aware that you honor Martinet but
reading him or not is not the key to eternal salvation.
Whether Miguel and Brian have or have not read Martinet in the original
is of no great importance one way or another.
Both of them have read many more books at this point in time than you have,
and more importantly have trained their minds to be logical and disciplined.
Instead of lecturing them (a waste of time). you could be learning from
them.

Dear Patrick,
This is really *you* at your best.
The issue was :
Did Miguel actually read Martinet
as he claimed he did ?
I consider that "I wouldn't be surprised"
is itself a clear indication He did not.
I have been requested to provide
reasons I think that.
I did as requested.
I have then be told by Brian,
that what I say or report from
Martinet is irrelevant
because Site-Rule n° 1
has it that Brian is right
Site-Rule n°2 has it that
Go back to Rule n°1
if other cases happen.
ok
no problem.
Arnaud
