Response to P. T. Daniels' Review of Absent Voices: The story of Writing Systems in the West

"On Monday, 24 Jan 2005 15:35:45 –060, Charles E. Jones gave express permission for me to post my Response to Peter Daniels’ Review of Absent Voices: The Story of Writing systems in the West to the ANE list. The delay is a result of the extensive revision necessary toreduce length for publication and posting as plain-text on a list. A final paragraph inexplicably did not appear; this has been corrected."
