Despite Mr. Perathoner 's assertions that any styles which don't match his criteria can be dismissed as bad taste, it remains virtually axiomatic that _de gustibus non disputatum est_.
I didn't say that. I did say that people who say things like: "de gustibus non disputatum (sic!) est" (there’s no disputing about taste), usually have bad taste because they were never able to defend their taste in a discussion. People with good taste usually like disputing about it, because they know they have good taste and comparing notes helps build even better taste. Moreover, there *is* disputing about Latin: and your Latin is wrong. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
