A very provocative thread this is. Having read through all of it, I saw where you and “lost tribe” dialoged somewhat, he seemed quite the proponent of the Celtic-lost tribes of Israel theory. Apparently he is no longer a FReeper. What happened? Did he get the zot for pushing his theory?
I find the theory interesting, but with all kinds of problems, theological especially.
It's been so long now that I don't even remember.
I did note that of the five people addressed in post #2 that three have died and the other two were banned.
