It is always nice to see Darwin commenting on line. I thought about you the
other week when the isses of who was first to North America arose yet again
and a new theory that the vikings were superceded by the picts or their
tribal affiliates. My point some time back was that the exploration route to
the NE coast of Canada was not novel or new in 1398. But the discovery
process goes on. As far as suits of armour goes, Rosslyn is an apt subject
of scientific study and the hope is that the day will come when the
mysteries of Rosllyn are uncovered and when that time comes I pray it be
with a combination of good science and reverence.
