I guess so; I just found it unnecessary and somewhat inappropriate, as it
had no real bearing on the questions at hand, because he had the English
translations right there as well. A third language written in for no other
reason than being in a book, I merely find it, well, to put it bluntly,
useless. That's all. And, I should've kept my comment to myself, I know :),
but I've felt the need to post to the list since I haven't done much posting
since last month or November. :)
