JL: Why would it be _Palma_'s fault if he doesn't understand you, Eric?
Eric, it's thanksgiving's eve -- be more understanding.
If you write politely to someone and they respond with abuse, it's their
fault. You will note that I offered his unfamiliarity with English as an
excuse ... for him ... and wished him well.
>>And just because you start talking about Venus and enemas,
He started talking about both Venus and enemas. Those were topics he
introduced .... read the exchange carefully.
I responded with Venus (morning star / evening star) as a reference to
Frege on reference. Vesperus/Hesperus ... remember?
If you're going to chide, at least chide accurately. Offlist, I wished
him a Happy Thanksgiving, by the way. To you also ... a Happy Thanksgiving.
Eric
