Are you saying someone in Sweden/Norway brought the stone with them,
that had been carved some 100 years earlier? That they managed to
plant this large stone under a tree before anyone arrived in the
district?

So? It most certainly was NOT carved then, but at least 100 years
before that.

Fact: The stone was under a tree that had germinated and grown over
the stone.
Fact: That tree dated back to before any Europeans were in that
district.
Fact: The tree's age predates Ohman's arrival in the USA.
Fact: the runes were carved at least 100 years before the stone was
found.

These are ALL established facts. You cannot get away from them,
WITHOUT a study showing ALL of those to be wrong. It isn't sufficient
you question ONE point and place that in doubt you have to disprove
all of them. No point in ignoring these facts, they have been
established via studies, observations, sworn statements and the like.

Maybe not directly - however they may well sell their list of
subscribers - alternately fall victim to a worm. I think you are also
right on the subscription.
