Restored the lost site - it's actually prettier now and has a few extra things. The only thing lost for ever were my Linux pages and my Lojban course, both of which I'd stopped maintaining anyway (in the latter case, Nick Nicholas has a new improved version, which I've linked to). view it at www.bilkent.edu.tr/~robin before I make another typing error and wipe it out again!

really? really and truly you like Chomsky's politics more than his linguistics?

never mind; it's a dangerous question

I wouldn't go with either 100%, but on the whole, yes. In politics I like his overall anarchism, and his searing critiques of American foreign policy, and dislike his tendency to support unpopular causes simply because they're unpopular. In linguistics, I think he was a typical case of a person getting one good idea and thinking the whole of their subject revolves around it.
