You asked:

And I replied as above.

Yes, thank you.

However, you decided that your original question was uninteresting and
snipped it, instead moving on to another fantasy.

I saw the implications of your answer and replied to the
rat tail of consequences. The general problem is the
question of science and racism. Academe is full of
racism, also schoolbooks, also the Usenet. In the late
1990s Brian M. Scott told me that before the Greeks
nobody was able of a theoretical insight. A plain racist
statement, and he never took it back. Ross Clark is
a friend of Eric Stevens, and this Eric Stevens is an
adept of a German Nazi and SS man who prolonged
SS archaeology into the post war era, giving a sugar
coated version of the Nazi ideology, according to which
the Greeks were Germans, and according to which the
old formula "ex oriente lux" is wrong - all originated in
the north. My aim is a fair history of civilization that
acknowledges all contributions, and when I attest an
important role to Ice Age Europe there is an all deciding
difference between me and the Nazi ideology: I say that
the evolution and development of civilization took many
turns, there is not a direct line between CroMagnons
and Aryans, the legacy of the Ice Age spread eastward
and southward, and only the great civilizations of Asia
Minor, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia and India made
ancient Greek, Rome, and Europe possible: ex oriente
lux. Considering all the racism in academe, in schoolbooks,
and in the Usenet, I can't find any trace of blatant racism
in the publications of the Institute for the Study of Man,
so I go on relying on the Proceedings of the Annual UCLA
Indo-European Conference. Now, killrating mob of sci.lang,
killrate my message while leaving the message of the
adept of Graham Hankook, another veiled racist, unrated.

I'm amazed to find my name mentioned on one of those rare occasions
when I actually look at one of Franz's posts. I had considered him an
incurable but basically harmless kook. Now he seems to have caught the
"Nazi-hunting" bug from analys... or somebody.
Just to put some factual checks on his free-associations: Eric Stevens
and I live in the same city, but we've never met, and only rarely
communicated off-line. All this Nazi/SS stuff that Eric is supposed to
be a follower of is news to me, after reading his posts for several
years.
As for "killrating", I hear the term but I have no idea what it refers
to. If it has something to do with those little rows of stars that
appear on Google Groups, I have never paid any attention to them, and
never so much as attempted to "rate" somebody's post. This seems to me
as pointless and childish as becoming somebody's "friend" on MySpace.
That's enough. I return to my normal policy of ignoring Franz.
