I have no intention of sending your response to Chomsky, so don't worry.
Besides, you have no reason to feel humiliated; I think you argue your
points well, certainly better and more intelligently than m malak (with whom
I once confused you, apologies). As I said in an earlier post, I'm fairly
lost in the linguistic maze, and read each argument hoping to learn the
basic outline. It's Chomksy's politics that have had a major effect on me,
and that's where I hit the ground running.
