Actually, I only mentioned this because some other post some time back
suggested that only the Shaivites were original and that Vaishnavism
was brought in by invaders. The supporting argument was, I assume, the
Indus Valley seals and the claim that these were a proto-Shiva.
If anyone believes that, then the whole lingam controversy is solved,
because every single one of those seals shows the person having a very
large, prominent erection.
