I rather disagree. Listserves and eMail is impersonal. It's just
courtesy to use a real name, as you would speak to someone with a real
face. I think the use of words like "flawed and reactionary" are
themselves what is inappropriate.
BTW Matres Lectionis are letters waw, he and yodh placed into the
Hebrew text to act as "semi-vowels" or at least as markers to help in
the reading of the consonatal text. It's latin for Mothers of Reading.
Peace - and less inflamatory language, please.
