*****GK: Yes. So were the Romans, so are our Indian
friends on this list. In fact so is just about
anybody. So what? I wasn't actually talking about the
Goths (either in general, or about those whose sense
of greatness would have been titillated by the efforts
of Cassiodorus), but about potential protesters from
the Getae/Dacians. Being extinct silences you
