> Arnaud's review of Talageri's book, some long extracts from which are reproduced (and hysterically commented on -- but not at all "rebutted" as you wrongly claim!) in the reply by Talageri you have uploaded in the Files section, is one of the best critical writings of his I have ever read.

Is the critiq available anywhere BTW? His scribd account appears to have been deleted.

If Talageri rejects PIA I suspect it'll be a less hilarious read than the rebuttal makes it sound (ie. the rebuttal misses the point just as well as any complaints about fonts do), but it sounds interesting regardless.
