Doug, who really cares what Inger calls confirmed or authentic. She 
blabs about confirmed iron when she is talking about some undefined 
fire pit. She cannot even keep the type of evidence strait.
She doesn't know the difference between primary literature and 
primary sources, between peer-reviewd and pay perveiw. That anyone 
still talks to her is amazing. 

Tom has got her pegged right on the numbers, she is just one pile of 
BS after another.
