> I hereby offer $100 to anyone who can convince Larry Trask to
> join the <Language> mailing list and see how far bluffing can
> take him on this list without a moderator to play bodyguard
> for him.
>
> This is a bona fide offer, and I will gladly pay.
>
> You are hereby given permission to circulate this email as
> far and as wide as you might want to.
>
> The truth of the matter is that R.L. Trask actually insults
> the linguistics community when he gets away with what he does.
> He does so because he knows very well that his audience is
> ignorant and he can pull wool over their eyes. This will become
> obvious eventually to everyone except fellow dinosaurs.
>
> He did this once on Histling with the Birthday PRoblem and
> once with Marilyn and the Goat. My response got deleted because
> it was perfectly well-suited to the con-man bluff on his part.
>
> Enjoy the show. The fun is just beginning. Last time I took
> time off from my work, I started an electronic newsletter and
> almost completely wrecked a mailing list which was run by
> buffoons. I have finished my 5-yr book. It can be found on the
> Barnes & Noble website for sale (The Diagonal Infinity, World
> Scientific). Now I will have a little bit more time to devote to
> linguistics.

fair use is a wholesale licence to copy if you don't charge or if you are in  education, and it isn't.
