In response to Michael's "I have noted a tendency to allocate major status to theories emanating in Europe most of them Jewish and minor to those emanating outside of Europe", I also asked who is doing the "allocating". I presume it is the ubiquitous "they" (details to be filled in according to one's prejudices).

Michael Sylvester,PhD Daytona Beach,Florida --------------------------------------------------------------- RE: [tips] Determining major and minor Stuart McKelvie Sun, 30 Aug 2009 11:30:05 -0700 Dear Tipsters, While I heartily approve of MS quoting a Dylan line ("You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows"), it is disheartening to see that his "pithy" comment undercuts our academic debate. All AE did was to make a reasonable request for a citation for MS's claim, for how can we debate a claim unless we know that it has been made? So I politely repeat Alan's request: Michael: Who has made the claim about major and minor theories and approaches (besides yourself in the posting)? Sincerely, Stuart Stuart J.
