Optometry? That's when your eyes don't work right?

Seriously, if you have no respect for my studies, get the f*ck off
this thread.

What studies? You're insisting that the Yanomami have writing, but you're asking a bunch of questions that no matter what the answers are wouldn't shed any light on the question of whether they have writing.

Where do you get the idea that Usenet threads are owned by anybody, and that you have any authority over who does and doesn't participate?

More succinctly: Who the hell do you think you are?


By the time I am through with this I will be in the rain forest, and
you will just be
wondering where your umbrella is.

Uh, OK. So? You're better than I am because you're going to the rain forest? If I wanted to go to the rain forest, I could go to the rain forest.
