Here's the link

Fra� Matthew Festing, the new Prince and Grand Master of the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta (known as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta), a Catholic order based in Rome, considered a sovereign subject of international law - hence the smallest European state - has received information regarding our Proto-Indo-European language revival project and a copy of our grammar.
We contacted the recently elected Grand Master in the hope that PIE revival be supported by the Order, because it could be another way to help unite Europeans under our common values and culture, being easier for them to take such �linguistic policy� decisions than for any other European state, as it cannot directly affect their citizens. If any measures are adopted, it would nevertheless be meaningful for Europe and the European Union. The Grand Master accepted the present and said he was �delighted to have it� and the he �would read it with interest�. |

Certainly not! Where'd you get that from? |

I have not gone off topic, as you are fond of saying in order to dodge issues.
You claimed that a former claim mine was too widely directed, that it was therefore meaningless. I put forth a definition which would show why my argument about language reconstructionists is valid. I defined a category: Proto-Indo-European; a sub-category, Northern Proto-Indo-European; and then I specified one further sub-category: Proto-Germanic. |
Fine, maybe I misread what you wrote a few pages back. My point still stands though. |
