I found this comment as useless and, frankly, as absurd as this earlier one of yours in this thread. JFS: As for Jon's comments about earlier versions, any quotations prior to June 1911 are irrelevant. Please do not recommence these preposterous -- in their gross generality -- or ad hominem attacks that were so disruptive last year and, indeed, part of the year before. Please stick to discussing substantive content. We have really had more than enough of this on the List for a lifetime.
