By your 'original post' you must mean
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/cybalist/message/58897
where you write
'Lauran Toorians and Peter Schrijver would not agree with you.'
So I googled 'toorians' 'Netherlands' and 'Celtic', and didn't find
anything that convinced me they were convinced of a Celtic presence in
the Netherlands, so I asked you for a reference
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/cybalist/message/58898
which you answered
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/cybalist/message/58899
by calling me lazy and suggesting I google Lauran Toorians and Peter
Schrijver along with "Kelten" and "Nederland".
So I googled them. So the answer is 'yes', after a fashion, since you
didn't suggest that in your original post.

So are you going to give it to me?

I presume that was the article Brian gracefully supplied the reference
to?

Erh, aha. Who are those non-Hallstatt Celts?
