Well, for my part, I'm pretty sure most of us on this mailing list know 
how to read. Some of us can even type. And I can usually spell, but not 
necessarily while typing. Go figure.

Yeah, this is a pretty good example of someone not really knowing how to
read, and holding it against someone who does. . . .

 . . Of course, if you think ignorance is a virtue, that's fine.  Just =
don't
hold it against those who Know better...

In short, Fuck Off

I was not specifically satirizing your comments about the Shylock =
character or about the other ideas you posted. My thoughts were intended 
=
to raise the point and highlight the quandary that much of our 
"historical"=
 information is quite speculative and uncertain.

Then again, my inability to read--especially when confronted by someone 
=
who "Know[s] better" and can articulate a retort with such 
eloquence--sets =
me back in awe. And I must concede how wrong I was.

In short, Thank You.

Paul
