I just remain unconvinced that 'River People' is the correct etymology of the Danes (I don't claim that I know the right one). Honest to God, I never said nothing about nobody having no ships.

I was afraid my remarks might be appreciated as the vindictive remarks
of a offended Danocentric. Which of course they were, too.
But, to put it shortly, since you are aware of the importance of
transport by sea in Denmark's recent history, how come this
geographically determined water-destiny doesn't apply earlier? Or,
rather, why are you so sure these *D-n- river peoples had no ships?
