There's been several private messages to me asking which theory I think is most accurate, John and Tony's or Bruce's. My answer is this: I do not have the credentials to make a decision, I have not personally researched the early lines nor do I have the money or access to the history books and ancient records to do so. I have moved from RI to FL, my local library is the size of a mobile home. It is very difficult to get inter-library loans here because the librarian told me other libraries are reluctant to send books here as small FL towns are thought of as transient towns and they fear the books will not be returned. This could be true...... So..... how can I, without the personal research to back me up, offer an answer, I can't. And neither can anyone else who hasn't done the personal research. So, what I'm saying is don't sling "crap" unless you have a good shield to back you up.
