[gothic-l] Re: The Scandinavian Origin of the Goths and Other Germanic Peoples

[dirk at SMRA.CO.UK]

I believe that is a good idea. So far the moderator has allowed a
fairly wide range of topics.  As long as the topics remain
relevant, interesting and serious (the discussion of the Markomannic
challenge in Gladiator was perhaps approaching the edge of
seriousness- but why not having some fun), I think also the
participants who are more directly interested in the Gothic language
would benefit from a broader mix of different threads. I believe
making a broader (but well defined) scope 'official' could be a good
idea.
