****GK: What is the evidence that "Etruscan" as a
language (as against "Etruscans" as a people- 75%(:=))
or 90 or 95% may be descendants of "those who were
always there" (well for thousands of years) no matter
what language they spoke) was "always there"? What
"needs no further explanation" to the purveyors of
Arnaud rubbish (if you don't like the term don't use
it re others) is a problem for more serious
investigators.****
