My stuff has nothing whatsoever to do with the internet. It is all factual history as researched and offered as part of the interpretations at the historic village where I work. As I pointed out, some of these things evolved over the centuries, not just in the 1500's, especially the bathing customs after people decided to start going back into the tub, from the late 1700's to the mid 1800'S. So I'd have to say many of the "debunkings" on the debunking site are debunked! What's their source? I didn't spend my time writing this out as a lark. The Reshaping of Everyday Life, 1790-1840, by Jack Larkin, Director of Research, Collections, and Library at Old Sturbridge Village, one of the country's foremost outdoor living history museums located at Sturbridge, Massachusetts, will corroborate much of this information.
