Before we begin this long-awated dialogue with a lady as elegant as
you, I would like to take this opportunity to appreciate this gracious
favor which you generously bestowed upon me-- a sci.lang.japan pariah
whose every word incurs the displeasure of the group members who
exceedingly admire every scintillating spark of wisdom of Muchan who
never fails kindly to shed light on the way to the truth, the whole
truth, nothing but the truth.






By the way, a part of your sentence:

is supposed to be:

do you really know that a linguist ...

Yes. I omitted "that", although I mistakenly used a plural pronoun to
refer to a singular subject.

Ray

or

do you really know a linguist who must understand ...

Which is it?
