Your post made me curious, so I went back and spot checked a number of Lost Tribes initial posts to existing threads. It turns out that many, maybe most of them deal with a subject on which the two of you seem to completely agree. Who are Jews, and when they were first identified as Jews. You say:
..entire Tribe of Levi ... remained with Judah and Benjamin (who became known as "Jews" following the conquest of the lower kingdom by Nebuchadnezzar).
and Lost Tribe says:
..made up of the Tribe of Judah & a mix of Levites and Benjamites. ....... taken captive in ~587 BC and removed to Babylon. Only ~50,000 returned to Palestine ~70 years later. They and their offspring are called Jews.
That's WAAAAY close enough for government work. So since YOU agree with him on what he seems to think are very important definitions, YOU could call these fundamental definitions to the attention of threads which have it wrong, then he woudn't have to. What say?

What say? I say that it is mere semantic nitpicking over a trivial factoid which has very little, if any at all, relevance to current events. It is like interrupting every thread which mentions "Americans" to say that Mexicans, Canadians, Brazilians, Argentineans, etc. are also "Americans" because they live in North or South America.
