Why should academicians be expected to rely on any Gothic written on line at
all? It's not as if we're all friends of Ulphilas or something. Writing in
Gothic basically boils down to a game. An intellectual and, yes, academic
game, but a game none the less. I think frankly that the vast majority of
serious scholars would have more problems with the idea of composing in
Gothic at all than with the idea of hastily wrote and pourly edited e-mail.
    This is not to say that no one on this list is a serious scholar, but my
impression is that generally speaking the bigger someone is in an academic
field, the less interested they are in such games.

Sincerely,
IUSTIENSU
