***** > What's this crap got to do with the Celtic language? Somehow it > strikes me more as something that should go in net.nlang.crap... jmm's postings actually have nothing to do with much of anything, Tom, including the real world. What I'm waiting for are his equally eloquent postings on the deaths of the people killed by the IRA last week in it's futile attempt to assassinate the British Prime Minister. Don't forget jmm is the self-proclaimed "Winston Smith" of the net -- that fact alone puts his babblings in perspective. Trisha

Excuse me but, I have never read anything authored by jmm (the original poster of "Statements on the Killing of Brian Stewart") that condoned the actions of the IRA. In fact, the entire article in question does not contain any editirial comment by jmm. It mearly presents the observations of the witnesses to the event in question. (But surely we know the actual truth, I mean we see it on T.V. right -:.) I agree that this posting had nothing to do with the celtic language, but I do not see the need to offer snide and untrue condemnations for that Fax Paus. Bruce Golub PS. It is considered polite to sign your postings (yes I know its in the header too). There is an increase of unsigned letters in all the newsgroups, especially the more controversial ones.
