Re: [Mid] Sweater stitching via Period Fishing

Herr Maximilian,
        I would be very interested in anything that you can find out. I'm already
on the trail of debunking the debunker and have messages posted to a
fishing email lsit that I am on which originates in Ireland. I'm also
seeking contacts in EUropean anthropology to aid in this effort. As I
said, too many people have heard about it from different types of sources
to just 'blow it off' after one guy debunked it in a book. I'm going to
start gathering anything I can by both word of mouth, and more preferred,
documentable sources in Europe on this subject.
        And, when study is completed, if I'm wrong, so be it. But look at all the
new friends and contacts that I could make along the way.
