belittling? more like a request for more precision; it's an interesting but
rather large topic to cover, isn't it? i mean: we could start with HRAF,
look at depicetions of hairstyles in everything from Classical friezes to
totemic figures to Bronze Age bog bodies

There is no need to belittle someone, whatever your opinion is regarding
their message.
