****GK: I really have no further time to waste on
someone who consistently sidesteps points he is unable
to answer coherently (e.g. your silly notion of the
"Suebian confederation" in Tacitus, or your contention
that Swedish archaeologists have got it wrong because
they can't discern an "invasion" of their territory by
the creators of Germanic a la Torsten, or how the
perennial neighbours of the Przeworkers, the Wielbark
Goths, managed to avoid "Germanization" until the
arrival of the Amals, whose own recent Germanic
pedigree couldn't quite be explained a la Torsten, or
why French and German archaeologists need to do their
homework because their findings don't support Torsten
etc etc etc.) and substitutes peripheral issues
settled a la Torsten (such as the ethnicity of the
Nametes, or what Caesar meant Ariovistus to have
implied in their exchanges).
The fact is, that as long as established evidence
flies in the face of Heimskringla, Yngliga Saga,
chapters 5-7, Torsten will always find "problems" with
it, and will continue to use "Torsten logic" to combat
it. The Odin fantasy remains as strong as ever, even
if the name rarely surfaces (for administrative
causes). I cum Deo tuo,et vale. ****
