Correct. See above.

Whereupon you replied 'There is no need to "lay eyes on"
crackpottery' (Sun, May 28 2006 3:03 pm). You called Derk
Ohlenroth's book crackpottery withouth having seen one
single page of it.

Correct. See above.

You resemble those cardinals who did not
look through Galileo's telescope.

You used that one already. Irrelevant, since D.O. has no additional
evidence.

For all these years I believed you were teaching at
an university, and you let me go on believing that.

How would I know what you "believed"?

A couple of days ago I wanted to know what exactly
your position at the university of New York is, so I
googled for

"peter t. daniels" nyu

and found to my surprise that you are not with NYU
but an editor with Gorgias. Now I can relax. You are an
editor, you are not a scientist. Your above confesssion
that you judge Derk Ohlenroth's book a priori, without
having seen one single page, confirms my opinion.
You are not a scientist, and what you say on the object
in question is irrelevant.

So, where are you a professor?

Does the chair you hold entitle you to pronounce on matters of writing
systems?
