==============
Torsten, you are just wrong,
but this does not matter that much,
What strikes me in the message 36633 is the neutrality toward Nostratic and
LR inheritance.
It seems M. Gasiorowski is now "shying away" from that kind of hypotheses.
The tendency has shifted from neutrality toward passive hostility.
Maybe this would be an issue on which to get some interesting comments.
