Glen,
Like I said before - Vandersleyen - otherwise it's all
just "I-say-you-say" which I find tiring. This is a
debate that's been going on for about a 100 years or
so, and some of the the points you've raised are
mostly "same-old-same-old." (J. Strange summarizes
these in his 1980 study).

Egad!! You certainly like to draw hurried and definite
conclusions, don't you?? Why would you want me lulled
by trade routes - and Indian ones at that, of all
things???!!! As a rule, I say clear of pet theories. I
don't like blinkers. Thnakn you very much. And,
besides in any debate, it's always good to avoid
dropping like a "ton-of-bricks." What's the point?

Certainly there's confusion, as with most things
ancient - but I return to my point of reading what is
current on the subject (2003, in this instance), so we
can have a balanced view. That's my pet theory, I
guess, if you really want to pin one on me.
And if you want Minoans with your Keftiu, who the hell
am I to deny you that pleasure?? Enjoy!!!
Cheers,
Nirmal
