If anybody's _really_ interested in how such a debate develops on the
Usenet group sci.archaeology, I have uploaded the recent threads in
which I participated to http://home.wxs.nl/~mcv/IE.txt
 
There is civil debate between myself and (principally) S.M. Sterling,
there are Swadesh lists, Renfrew, Mallory and Gimbutas are discussed,
there's kookery, there's Hubey, there's Out-of-India, there's a
surprising amount of talk about Eskimos, there's poetry and there's
abuse...  And it's only half a megabyte.
