Worst is that Tom and Doug both try to lean on Kirsten Seaver's assumption
instead of waiting for the scholars who have most experience working with
and analysing documents linked to the Viking and the Medieval Age
Scandinavian contacts! It's outridgeus that Seaver can be used as a ref in
this request but to do that BEFORE the expert scholars of this ages
Scandinavian linked document contrary to other scholars who studied it
without having half the Danish scholars experience - that beats most of the
funny tales told by the naysayers!
