Mr Pedersen,
 
To be frank,
I am quite fed up with your general approach.
You are always indulging in un-proved mysterious substrate inventions,
most of which are highly self-contradictory in the first place,
like claiming that Central-Europe is "vasconic"
then "probably Celtic" then "why not whatnot, including PIE",
 
You are always dodging questions,
and answering a clear question with a mountain
of un-sorted ruhlenesque "data" that neither prove nor mean nothing,
Hundreds of words mitch-matched together in the worst bedlam,
drowning a clear issue into an ocean of nothingness,
 
You are always claiming answers are not answers,
although I have been very clear
You are always distorting answers beyond any limit,
 
You have been making absurd claims
like "Boulogne's area was Dutch-speaking"
something that contradicts every single bit of information
we have on this area.
I consider this assertion has been made shreds.
You have proved **wrong** in the clearest way,
but you still pop up with absurd questions and mails,
that are meaningless and off the point.
 
In fact, some other people on the forum are nearly honest and sympathetic,
like My best pet M. P.R, 
when compared with your general approach
which is an obnoxious compound of inventions, forgeries,
denials of data, dreamish absurdities,
substrate obsessions,
 
and I probably lack words to make an exhaustive description
of your mails.
 
Arnaud

Are you saying that the Hausa had no agriculture?
