And right you are in what you say, David. You will realize, however, that in the discussion between myself, Alan and interested members, when the expression "...similar points of comparison between the two..." was used, we were not inviting one another to actually raise those points, or to offer one another insights, but I was talking of my difficulty in researching the kukri as part of a compliment to Alan and other participants who have helped to raise this keris forum to what it is.
I apologize. I should have expressed myself more clearly.
My wife says I'm too long-winded for clarity!
