I quote myself, from that same message:
"That is very much a loose paraphrase, stated with the the utmost
brevity, but it brings us rapidly to the point..."
Jim, this is not the first time you've sent insulting messages to me:
to prevent your being "offended", I had written to you separately,
off-list, with a letter of encouragement, stating that I was looking
forward to others pointing out my errors, that I would be eager to see
that I was wrong, etc., to show you (directly) that I was opening this
as a discussion for all, with an open mind --and, indeed, several
other people have now taken up a more detailed study of the syntax of
the text (their attention drawn to it by my "loose paraphrase", etc.).
When I wrote the first two messages to the list, I did not actually
have very much time, but I was excited with what I had noticed in the
text, and I've managed to pass on some of that excitement to others,
it seems.
If this is not the sort of "crap" that you want on the list, all I can say is,
"Best wishes",
E.M.
