Because it's Harald's, I think it would be better 
for him to just let others assess it. And hope 
none of them call it definitive, because I don't 
see how anyone could defend calling so early an 
account definitive.

Me either: in fact, I haven't seen either 
Harald's or any of these others at all.

I haven't seen Harald's first edition either. But 
until the dust still being stirred up has 
settled, I don't think we will be able to begin 
to see even "the old days" clearly.
