Let's be fair, Eric. I only lit into you because you posted stuff from the
Wolter/Nielsen book and then claimed you hand't really read it closely
enough to discuss what you posted while all the while discussing the book.
You will be fine if you read your new book closely enough to precisely
describe, rather than loosely paraphrasing, its contents, (see Stevens post
in "The Language of the KRS" thread he just started) and will be able to
hold a discussion regarding what you report of its content without
pleading -but I only read it through the one time and not in enough depth to
discuss it-.
