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.

Incurable I am, inasfar as I go on with my Magdalenian
experiment, since nobody can falsify my approach.
The question was whether the work of Michael Janda
is invalidated by the fact that he published his paper
"The Religion of the Indo-Europeans" in the Proceedings
of the Seventeenth Annual UCLA Indo-European Conference,
as the Institute for the Study of Man at Washington DC
seems to have been founded by a politically dubious
person. I don't think so, and intended to point out how
easily a dubious connection can be established: Juergen
Spanuth served as a clergyman in the SS, he saved Nazi
archaeology for the post-war era, in a bestelling sugar
coated version, Eric Stevens in sci.archaeology fell
for Spanuth, and you, Ross Clark, recently called him
your friend, at least two times. I have no reason to
assume that you harbor any racist ideas in your bosom,
nor has Eric Stevens affinities to Nazism (I can tell,
because I had heavy discussions with him), but there
is a short way from Juergen SSpanuth via Eric Stevens
to Ross Clark. If Michael Janda's work is invalidated
by the publishing house, then Ross Clark's messages
could as easily be invalidated. My intention was to stop
a certain automatism of accusations, if you know what
I mean. (I consider you bright enough to follow my
dialectical reasoning.)
