Sounds like what Glen is proposing is a reworking of Greenberg's (and Bomhard's) Eurasiatic.
 
By the way, I am indeed back after a long time away, and am looking for someone with a list of IE roots from Gamqrelidze-Ivanov, or how G-I is different from Pokorny (besides the glottalic theory and laryngeals).  And I'm also hunting an Old Georgian wordlist.
 
And why is there not a decent, complete Armenian dictionary online? I've found Georgian and some North Caucasian languages....

Subject: [tied] On "Steppe"

Running from West to East this chain goes as follows

Tyrrhenian<-->PIE<-->Uralo-Yuk.<-->Chu-Kam<-->Esk-Al
                         ^
                         |
                         V
                       Altaic

Although glen calls this chain "Steppe", apart from the fact that
Altaic, and possibly PIE, none of the languages were in historical
times found anywhere near the Steppes.
