Then you will have absolutely no problem posting again in this thread.

Strange. I've seen it numerous times in just the last few months.
Perhaps you should spend more time reading posts rather than insulting
people. There doesn't seem much point in me posting it yet again if
you're not reading it when others post it.

Perhaps you will have to post it again as I have not seen it here in years.

The national mythos of ancient Greece was the Iliad.
The national mythos of the United States is WWII.
In both cases the truth is far different from the mythos.

The Vikings had longbows and chainmail (and weren't the inventors of
either) by the 9th C AD, well within the remit of the group, so you're
obviously not referring to the discussion. You must be referring to
the presence of trolls, then. Glad to see you're finally admitting you
are one.

There was a lively discussion a while back (fortunately troll-free) on the merits of longbows versus chainmail and platemail. I discovered some interesting Youtube demonstrations on research done on this topic that might be of interest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3997HZuWjk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4gPgHyaG1Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtTyOf8OCKg
