Enough is enough ! (Re: A question concerning the proposal to shut down the previous thread

[Jean-Luc Chevillard]

Dear Rheinhold,

you should remember that LIVERPOOL-INDOLOGY
is a general purpose indological mailing list.

However important the question you are discussing with Jan Houben is,
you cannot claim all the bandwidth
(there have already been more than 30 messages with the title
"Indology and "the disastrous  ideology of the 'pure Aryan race'" "

If that question has waited several years for a clarification,
it can certainly wait for a few more years :-)

I, for one,
consider that the important topic which was
"HOW TO SALVAGE SANSKRIT IN BERLIN?"
has been HIJACKED by an important
BUT NOT SO URGENT
debate
between you and JH .....

Please remember that there are sometimes priorities ....

I won't add anything to that thread
(and won't answer any comment you make on my message)
because that would be a transmutation
of debate into noise

Best wishes
