Isn't there a better place than sci.lang to talk to that guy about non-
language stuff? Really.

Well, in this case it is (in part) language stuff. If you read the item
-- it's pretty short by J-Doc standards -- you'll see that Magesan, like
Tregear before him, thinks there are Maori-Sanskrit cognates.

Of course I'm not actually talking to "that guy", in the sense of
expecting a reply. J-Doc just forwards stuff from other people, about
which he generally knows nothing, except that it has something to do
with "Hinduism" or "Sanskrit". I merely posted a couple of lines for the
information of sci.lang people who might be interested.

But you posted them to alt.fan.etc. as well as to sci.lang.- Hide quoted text -

For off-language posts, when I reply, I generally take the trouble to
remove sci.lang from the followups. Since this was on-topic, I did
not. I cannot be bothered looking to see what congeries of groups J-
Doc has decided to post to, then consider for each of them whether the
topic is really relevant. I assume this particular one is relevant to
soc.culture.india, and I assume alt.fan.j-m is home to any sort of
rubbish at all as long as you-know-who is somehow involved. As for the
rest, let them sort it out.

We have to assume that alt.fan.etc. is the only one the nutcase looks
at.

No, I don't think this is true. You might notice that Dr J has just
graced with his presence both the "manufactured languages" and the
"larger breasts" threads, previously posted only to sci.lang, now to a
j-doc portfolio of assorted groups.

Thus if you actually want to discuss some loony point of his,
_that's_ the one you need to remove, else you attract him to return
here again and again.

The loony points are generally not his anyway, and he seldom takes up
responses to them. And as the above examples show, he keeps coming back
here whatever others may do.
