The most interesting information comes by the way of emails or copies
of emails. It is the convention that one does not disclose the
contents of an email without the permission of the sender. I don't
automatically ask for that permission when someone writes to me so I
am not normally in a position to disclose anything. However, I have in
the past occasionally sought permission to pass on the contents of an
email and that permission has usually been given. In the context of
the possible presence of Norse in the vicinity of Carolina I have no
need to seek permission from anyone as I know of nothing new to add.
