It is OK, even though Google is watching me they also have a pretty effective spamfilter on Gmail, and since, a) I am far too complicated a person for their adds to ever be relevant to me (proving that they cannot fit me into their personality models) and, b) I have nothing to hide (well, I like young women, but not under 20 anyway), let them look over my shoulder as long as they protect me from spam.
Cmaq it depends, a large part of Varus' Defeat and Germanicus' de facto defeat was the knowledge and character of Arminus, there would need to have been someone with the same knowledge of Rome and charisma to keep the tribes togehter in order to beat Julle. Who was himself, by all accounts, an excellent leader of men and tactician. But yes I basically agree with you, and with Tacitus' assesment that it would be easier to beat Parthia then the German tribes.
