The Abandonment of the Gladius for the Spatha - Why?
#54
Martin,

April will be fine, so don't hurry, but I will want to see them.

Quote:We are at an impasse

BTW, exuce my poor english, not my native language, whats an impasse?

Martin[/quote]

Well my Great Grandfather & Grandfather were Lassons, straight off the boat from Sweden so I should be apologizing for not knowing Swedish! That and I married a Johnson who's also mostly Swedish, so I have even more reason to know it.

'Impasse' means we can't come to an agreement or understanding, specifically an impasse is an obstacle in a path or road.

Basically I was saying we all have different opinions and assumptions and no empirical evidence. So we need the videos, but we can wait til April.

Thanks again,
