I still think that the anonymity of the stone is a
major reason for doubt. Not one name, not even
a 'coded' name.
Therefore the KRS has no purpose.

Your logic is flawed and your conclusion is therefore false.

Please tell me more. 

He has not established that documents (even when made of stone)
have no purpose unless they bear an inscribed name.

Who is the he?

Nonsense!
That is comparing an obituary with a church.
Where is _my_ logic flawed?


Peter,
it's a myth that all runestones have a name on them.


That is not called a myth but a misunderstanding.
And it is not my misunderstanding.


Most from Viking
Age, 9th to 11th century, does. Not all others. Apart from which
you can't compare a Viking Age runestones purpose and text with a
Medieval runetexts purpose and text. No matter if it's carved on a
runestone, carved in birchbarch, carved on wood or written in
parchment. Different ages, different purpose behind text are two
factors. Messages in runetext were more common if carved on wood
in Medieval Age. On the other end wood isn't a very well
perserver of messages left behind and not delivered from one
person to an other. Simple as that.


No, not as simple as that. A stone with a story like that,
but without a name is very peculiar.
And a secret code to confirm a date and not to give a
name is very peculiar.
As simple as _that_.


It's definitely not peculiar. It's ALL BUT peculiar. It would have
been strange had there been names given in any runetext where
message is revealed that isn't linked to the text being written on a
gravestone!
That in itself is a 1000 times more strong argument against a
potential forger since most of you non-experts from non-Scandinavian
countries as well as ordinary people here still in 2005 believes the
same as you do.


Think about this:
Why was is necessary to take measures against
potential forgery if there was no history of forgery?
This alleged secret code undermines the trustworthiness
of every runeston in existence


Do you really believe runestones were carved in accordance
with inflexible rules as to content?


No. But it usual to supply names to histories
or reports on a states of affair.
What do you think the krs is?

What do you think I believe? I certainly don't believe
that every stone with runes on it mentiones a name.


Thus the fact that there are no names on the stone adds to
the stone's credibility rather than the other way round.

Please explaine that to me. 

I think she is saying that any amateur forger would have
included names for the sake of verisimilitude.


Do you realy think so?
That would mean that the fact that there is no name
on the krs means that it is wriitten by a professional.
That is a bold statement.
And what did a professional runewriter do in North
America then?

BTW. Is it professional to write "Little Red Riding Hood"
without using the name of the girl?
