Dear David, Dear A.G,
thanks again. Your comments slowly shed light on the nature of this topic for me.
I´ll just leave this invitation here - if there will be somebody one day to write an essay about the Keris - he or she is very much invited to get in touch. The Gladiological is always open for articles of this kind.
One of you said something very important: The review of articles. This is a difficult thing to accomplish when a "exotic" topic shall be released and there is nobody in the editorial team to check things for correctness. In this case we must rely on readers´feedback and publish either a corrected version of the original article or publish the feedbacks. Either way, the possibility of commenting below articles on our website is there - it just needs to be used much more
