The basic reason for writing this post is Barry's personal attack on
James. We should treat each other in a civil way as colleagues. We
should never accuse a list-member of having a particular
agenda-because we cannot know that. As a matter of fact, ancient
history, chronology, and linguistics cannot be proven in the
philosophical sense of the word. Claims that science has *proved*
this or that regarding the past (or even often regarding the present)
are hopelessly native. In relation to finds and data from the ancient
past, each of us serve as a jury. Proofs are lacking, so our duty is
to make a judgment regarding the circumstantial evidence that exist.
If one judge this evidence differently from us, we should not doubt
his or her motives.

Rolf, have you been reading James's posts? Where you when he was making "personal attacks?"

But having expressed my personal opinion, I'll say no more.
