Hmm, funny. I could have sworn I gave a link to at least part of my "magnum
opus" already :P Here it is again:

http://glen-gordon.tripod.com/language.html

...It only covers thoughts on IndoTyrrhenian (Etruscan and IE) for now but I
plan to get theories going further back up there soon. Stop naggin' me :P I
think Hakan might enjoy it since I don't get into alien conspiracy theories
or "protolanguage" crap like so many loonies out there on the net. It's
online for anyone to debate and I'm continually updating it.
