Please accept my apologies for not properly understanding the places in your paper, where you speak about Keris as a "societal status indicator". I also never suggested, your theory, which, I repeat, seems generally to be very plausible to me, would come as revelation out of a clear blue sky. |

It seems I owe some apologies.
David, what I have written in this thread was pretty much all included in "Interpretation", but that paper went through about 16 drafts, and with each draft it became smaller and more compressed, it was intended for a general readership, and on a superficial level that is what it finished up as, but to really understand what I wrote a lot of background knowledge was required. Based on the feedback I've received on "Interpretation", I'm inclined to believe that only one person other than myself really understands what I have written. So, will you please accept my apologies for my failure to write in a sufficiently complete way. Gustav, I also owe you an apology for my failure to understand the intent of your first sentence, and a further apology for my own inadequate writing. |
