As he belatedly states "I don't think there is evidence of any of that

Seppo, if you want to achieve anything, don't make such statements. I
don't know Tom that much, but I do know Doug from 10 years ago, and
there's a reason why I trust him.

There is a reason why many more than Seppo and me(Inger) don't trust Doug at
all. That reason comes from the simple fact that Doug never ever been able
to present any valid information in the Kensington Runestone case as well as
in any other case where Scandinavians in NA pre-Columbus outside L'anse
Meadows been on the agenda. It's a hugh mistake to lean to Birgitta Wallace.
Not only has she presented false information, misinterpreted and such as
well, but if she has a degree at all in Scandinavian History, she didn't
take that when studying here in Gothenburg before she left for Newfoundland.
She managed to write an acceptable article in an Danish work the other year.
Acceptable but not completely correct there either. She done a good work in
Newfoundland, but she is by no means an expert or scholar of Scandinavian
History. Thus it's outridges to put her assumptions forward at all in the
Kensington Runestone case.

I wonder whether anyone can point me to peer reviewed work by
Birgitta Wallace relating to the KRS, or associated studies in
the region?

Do you have access to JSTOR? If so, do a search on "Birgitta Wallace". A
number of hits show up re Norse in America but none apparently directly
on
the KRS.

That is, Wallace has apparently never written specifically on the KRS.
Rather,
she has apparently been somewhat conservative in her connection of Norse
and
North America; that seems to be Inger's problem.

Thus, Inger's connection of Wallace and the KRS is itself "outridges"
(snort, snicker).
