[jdm314 at AOL.COM]

Some of you may have noticed that I was absent from the list for a couple of
months this year. Right before my disappearance, David and I had a private
discussion regarding Yiddish and Gothic, and this post that I wrote, but
never sent, was one of the results. I think it's about time to post it!
