Sorry, I wanted to quickly respond earlier but I'm preparing a paper and my would be co-author is a bit flaky on correcting proofs, so...
Well I think the origin and dispersal of PIE is something Macedon would shoot us for being off topic rightly so, but no one really goes for the Anatolian model since the evidence is so overwhelmingly against it. In fact this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jHsy4xeuoQ is quite decent in highlighting problems with that hypothesis and phylogentic reconstruction in general.
Anyway, I'll be happy to answer any questions on computational/historical/comparative linguistics and Homer, Greek philology, traditionality etc.
