Ah - maybe a misunderstanding then. But I was a bit more annoyed by Herrn
Carvers comments who also floods lists here. He does put a lot of time in
this.

I am well aware of what Historical Arch is and does although I find the
term inapplicable here. Hence my course is called "Arch of Europe
Expansion". Everything else is left to the Classical Archs, Roman Archs,
Near Eastern Archs, Medievals Arch etc etc. The term is hardly used in the
US, I think Kathleen Deagan uses it every once in a while. Anyway, an
endless debate ...
