Great. Have him send it to you these types of posts privately and not
through this list. We give pride of place to correct and verifiable
information is critical in this age of information.
When you write something and send it to this list, it is archived and
becomes part of a permanent history of this list and the Internet. This
post can be a part of history on another list, but not this list dealing
with Noam Chomsky.

The list guidelines are clear. The CHOMSKY list is an international
network for discussing of the ideas of Noam Chomsky.
The list is intended as a resource for young people, students, admirers,
organizers, scholars and those interested in the work, philosophy,
political ideas and scholars' doing research on Noam Chomsky's
contribution to linguistics.
The purpose of the list is to:
1. To serve as a forum for the free expression of political ideas.
2. The scholarly discussions of linguistics.
3. To be a resource to its members, by continually identifying the
thousands of resources, materials, organizations and Internet sites
revolving around the work, philosophy, political ideas of Noam Chomsky.
4. A clearinghouse for the distribution of information on academic and
political conferences, publication opportunities, fellowship information,
academic grants, and job openings of interest.
All subscribers are encouraged to post questions, comments, or
announcements of interest to individuals working on topics related to
Chomsky's writings and lectures. The Chomsky list is without restriction
according to interest or professional affiliation.
The CHOMSKY discussion list is not devoted to any particular niche within
the scope of Chomsky's oeuvre, but instead welcomes contributions on any
aspect of the full range of Chomsky's contribution to contemporary
political stance and linguistic scholarship. According to citation
indexes in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Noam Chomsky is the
most cited living author and ranks in the top ten ever -- just behind
Shakespeare, Plato and Freud. Discussions of the contributions of other
important thinkers who have developed or criticized aspects of Chomsky's
work and political activity are also welcomed.
If the above guidelines are too narrow or does not "sit-well" with people
who have mistakenly joined this list, then they should UNsubscribe from
Chomsky.
To signoff, in the BODY of an e-mail message send the following command:

Inquiries pertaining to the list CHOMSKY and its functioning should be
sent directly to me, the List Owner.

And we will not start discussing anything "just because," there are those
who do not consider this list subsumed in "substantive discussions."
Questions?
