And what sort of sophistry is it to imply I said what I said because of being in the losers position and not because that's how it is?
Re: LaTeX: How do you insert IPA characters?
because winning the war was hard -- nobody 'just' won it. it was v. difficult work.
you're a loser because by your own admission you are on the loser's side. that makes you a loser. i made no claim that you made the claim *because* you're a loser, just that a loser was making it -- i.e. that it was a loser's argument.

Re: LaTeX: How do you insert IPA characters?
but that's exactly what i'm contesting i.e. that you won it, it couldn't be clearer what i meant when i said you simply happened to be on the winners' side.
