I agree with what you say Mermaid. Dismissing information offhand because of
onés own prejudices is not conducive to learning.
Please do get Ifrah's book too. The passages I transcribed in French in an
earlier post are extremely interesting.

[Mermaid]I have been trying for sometime now to get people to read or at
least appreciate the advantages of first hand knowledge. I keep dropping
hints in the form of book titles, urls and ways and means to search for
information themselves. I am wondering what it will take for people to start
reading for themselves here instead of aping the loudest in this group.
Unfortunately, Hermit has won. He has succeded in making some of the
denizens of CoV lazy. Too lazy to read. Too lazy to think. Too lazy to do
their own research. Too lazy to come to their own conclusions. This place
has become stagnant and stale to the point where asking someone to refer to
the original text amounts to making some kind of assertion. Shame!
