    I opine...

    As Chomsky is obviously busy
    and not really of interest re MoQ,
    but just a celebrity with opinions,
    I am not sure we should bother
    him at all.
    OTOH
    If he is engaging or seeking to
    engage in furthering MoQ, then
    sure, by all means, but to just
    bring him in to further discussions
    of a "culture war" subject is a waste
    of his time and ours...

    Surely he would be happy to have
    a forum that would bask in the glory
    of his presence, but he may have
    nothing truly original to add.

    On the whole, I think others on
    this list are truly better thinkers in
    the MoQ realm than NC...their posts
    are more insightful than what I've seen
    in the Chomsky books that are "non
    language subject" related books.

    Outside his specialty, he is unremarkable.

    thanks--mel
