Thomas,

I'm astounded at your wilful blindness. You completely miss the point that
it is the "deniers" like you who cannot get their story straight. How many
versions of the "true interpretation of those carvings" have we seen from
them so far?

Your attitude is the best illustration of the group-think plaguing the
Isolationists that I can think of. Thank you for providing such a good
substantiation to my words. I think you just walked into it...

Regards,

Yuri.
