Yes, but I think discussing the anthropology of IE peoples
must be conducted in an especially scientific way. We
can really say nothing about the overall dominant hair
colour or skin colour of IE-speaking peoples. How could
we _possibly_ discuss such a thing rationally when we
can't even entirely agree on the exact time and
whereabouts of the IE language area?! Even if we could
identify the exact location and time of IE and be certain
with 100% certainty, how can we be sure of the
exact bounderies of the language area, and be sure of
these boundaries over different periods of IE development??
It's far too complex but vague to talk about objectively
unless you know something I don't.
You get what I'm saying? So it's crazy-talk. This is just pure
baby-babble, regardless of the supposed "list topic".

How did I assume that role, I wonder. You must have
handed it to me. How generous.
Yes, some hold on to grudges, but I don't waste time
dealing with other people's neuroses. Afterall, I wouldn't
want to take away the job from qualified psychiatrists that
can remedy these disorders better. (PS: "Mulatto"
ultimately means nothing as a word, so get over it, ya big
baby! :P)
