Re: Books for sanskrit self-study

My comments were intended for the posting by Hanuman Zhang.
Apparently, I should follow my own advice. I regret any implications other
than what is directed to those comments.

I'm fairly quiet here spending the majority of my time lurking. This however
has raised my ire as it is totally uncalled for. This is not a forum to take
anyone to task, but to exchange ideas of our common interest. It is far too
easy to flame someone as we are removed from one another by geography and
quasi-anonymity. Working in the call centre industry, I have long ago
learned that people are far more brutal with their words than they would
ever be in person. Please keep your dissatisfaction away from the rest of
us. The delete key is always available for postings you find undesirable.

I'm quite certain he is, and furthermore connecting to the Swedish folk
etymologies of "Sanskrit" recently discussed on this list.
