I am really excited. While some of his theories aren't for me, much of what he as written is quite interesting and I really like his books. He has a really good book on the history of the English language which is very informative.

Thanks for the head's up about this (I cross posted in the Language group!) and for the link to the "My name is Selma" link. I will watch it later.

YEA!!!
