The intent of the note was to share a resource, not to restart the thread 
we had several months ago (about the reality of fictitious forces). It was 
a long and contraversial thread (last Fall). I learned a lot from it and 
would not mind to continue reading messages on the subject when I teach 
mechanics next Fall.
