Sorry, but I have no clue about which problem you are talking about. The discussion was about ignoring well known key-observations for the VMS-text. It is for instance a well known fact that the text is not homogenous. See Renés page about the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., his post from 2002 about the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., or the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. In my eyes this is a key-observation for the VMS and René is right to criticize if this observation gets ignored. As far as I understand we both agree that it is necessary to analyze such key-features in order to understand how the VMS-script and the VMS-text works.

There is already a thread about my paper (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.). As far as I understand the discussion in this thread is about disproving the evidence in favor of the self-citation method.
