What difference would it make? Seniority and the respect it entails is in the minds of the participants and earned by quality posts, a title means nothing.

Do so. You may also want to type in a translation of some passages that you think are particularly important in the matter, so that people who don't have the book can follow the discussion. For instance:

The ancient historian [name] wrote in his work [book name] that the Dacians eschewed skirmishers, stating that they had religious compunctions against killing at a distance. This is seen in the passage in the 6th chapter, which can be rendered as:
"The Dacian army assembled on the hill and surveyed the foreign invaders. The camp priest prayed to Zalmoxis that the enemy javelins would be sundered by lightning from the sky, so that the ungodly weapons would not spoil the upcoming battle."

You of course realize that this is completely made up. You can also see Cmaqc's posts in the Gaesatae thread on the EB1 forum for a very nice and orderly way to present evidence.
