Dirk,
Yes I follow the discussions and see most of them as contribution to
discussions. From that new ideas open up which is healthy for further
research.

All the old scholars can't be wrong. It is a common understanding in
Scandinavian literature that the Eruli originated from southern
Denmark before they joined the Goths at the Black sea.
I have to keep this as an open end.
