Naturally, you are entitled to stick to whatever theory you might wish. 
I just find it peculiar that you do not face the evidence presented here 
and seriously reply to it. I can't understand what this Hermodsson makes 
such an impact on you, and why he is more authorative to you than other 
more competent historians like Wolfram and Heather?
Somehow it seems like you prefer it to be a certain way although you are 
unable to face up to the facts laid forward authorative historians like Heather 
and competent members of this list!
