Thanks for the link plwk. Interesting, Ajahn Brahmali just co-authored with Ajahn Sujato, the publication,The Authenticity of the Early Buddhist Texts. Should make for a good debate!

Not sure if it is just me, but after listening to the debate, I find myself rather equally sympathetic to both the stance of Steven Batchelor and Ajahn Brahmali.
