I find it a bit odd that you are ridiculing the idea that someone would be expected to back up their opinions about history with evidence.
I guess my question is whether most people who post on this website feel the same way as you do about historical research and discussion. If so, then I assumed wrong about the type of people who post here.
One thing is good to know...if I have any questions about Raisinets, I'll ask you. I know you at least have that information close at hand.
