Dear Kalya,

Many thanks for your hilarious contribution. I used to
think that Torsten�s obsession about Austronesian
influences/presence in Neolithic Finland was the most
Monty Pythonian idea around � but I was mistaken. You
have now taken the title from him by your �This is
suggested because, this shakes the very foundations of
IE.�

Somebody who knows about comparative linguistics even
less than I do and certainly has no sense of the
scientific rigor needed to create even ripples in this
field�proudly proclaims to have shaken the very
foundations of Indo-European studies�What a wonderful
sense of self-irony!

Or is it? We know that to turn the legendary �Mighty
Saraswati� into your �ground truth� you will be
prepared to go to some lengths, in fact, going all the
way to dynamite and bulldozers. I hope that your
promise of earth shaking events within Indo-European
studies will have a more intellectual orientation.

Best regards, Juha
