[gothic-l] Two Peoples

For what reasons do you trust this professor of
Germanic language who did Goths as hobby project
more than scholars of the subject like Heather?

I don't know if that question was meant to hurt me or a
serious remark, but please rest assured that I can handle
my native language enough to read this book - which
I on the other hand never saw anywhere!
Any ideas where I could find it?

If you want respect for this opinion I think you at least
should pinpoint exactly where Heather and Wolfram
fail and why you seem to hold them in such low esteem?
