Andre, I am not pushing anything. I am entitled to my own view. You, Adrie and dmb seem to think that whatever way dmb blows, there blows the MoQ. No, no, no! As I stated yesterday, James was not a MoQ scholar, Seigfried is not a MoQ scholar and I will be quite surprised if dmb ever becomes a MoQ scholar.
There is always differences within a tradition. I am quite tired of dmb &company acting like whatever dmb says is truth. I'm ready to change the subject. Marsha p.s. I read Dean Summers paper over a year ago. It's a very good paper.
