Alex, what little we understand about Thracian points unequivocally to
its Satem character, even if you cannot of do not choose to understand
why. I won't bore the list by reviewing the relevant examples once again
-- it's all in the archives. What linguists say about Thracian is at
least based on _some_ evidence, however meagre. What you say about it
(and its alleged relationship to Romanian) is based on nothing at all.
