Peter, I'm fully aware that linguistics is at best an inexact science. I
don't discount anything. I collect anything and everything, even if it's
contrairy. I bear *all* of this in mind. Some of what I collect appears
more reasonable than some other stuff. I give more weight to that what
makes most sense and what is best supported. And while I might have picked
and chosen something to be foremost and strongest, I still don't toss out
the other stuff.

You hang on to the nonsense.
