Well yes, but if I went around mentioning it, I'd be an asshole.

:)

The line between self-promotion and useful contextual information can be a fine one. But in this case, I think mentioning the source of your own experience is OK, since it's directly relevant to the discussion and it establishes the context for your comment.

I dunno about that. This clarifies to me that what I just read was not about "some guy's language", but "that language I saw on LtU, that's on the top of my stack of languages to look at." :-)

In this case it would he helpful. Not mentioning it makes you a gentleman ;)

Genuinly why would that be? On the face of it I can't see why...
