Surely you are not referring to your Message-ID:

Page 90 in fact has something which contradicts previous "common
knowledge" regarding skin boats. (There are other things in the
document which are also eye poppers!)

The caption for Figure 7.7, reads,

      Fig. 7.7. Wooden rib from a slender
      kayak or canoe type of boat.
      Fragments of heavier ribs indicate that
      the inhabitants of Qeqertasussuk also
      possessed larger boats probably of
      umiaq size class (From Grønnow
      1988:36).

The text in the second column on page 90 says,

      The larger rib fragments may originate from a larger
      umiaq-type of boat primarily used for transportation
      and/or large whale hunting.

What has that got do with anything I have said? Or are you thinking of
other page references?

On the rare occasions you give any - yes.
