Don't think so. He contributes good posts. He is obsessed with how the  
English people systematically mistraslate German idioms, but -- I say: it's far 
 
worse to leave them in _German_. 
 
(Not perhaps for the sake of the German literature -- but I suppose that if  
the Kritique of the Poor Reason had never been so magistrally translated into  
English literature, the English would think that 'cant' refers only to some 
type  of highland jargon. Ah well.

Cheers,
