Well, it just so happens, to toot me own horn, that I've got a description
of Vinga up on-line again at
http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/bjm10/vinga.html. It's in that nasty,
wasty, icky, 'orrid, vile, evil, execreble, Gregged out of existence
"RuneQuest" (dare I say the word?) format, but I will probably give it a HW
treatment once the new game gets published. It also manages to make Vinga
excessively non-submissive and non-subsidiary to Orlanth, according to some
people. My Vinga is not "just like a man".

Agreed. Also, Vinga has been mentioned in King of Sartar, and that's enough for me. Nothing compels us to treat every word from Chaosium as the only possible truth. Nothing compels us to never do anything until it gets some kind of official imprimis from Chaosium. Chaosium's Glorantha is merely ONE archaeological/historical *RECONSTRUCTION* of Glorantha from incomplete and contradictory materials, after all...

My wife could certainly find a connection between male behavior and Wind and Thunder. "Men--big noise, lots of air."

Who needs 'em? Any good Red Woman sufficiently in her cups will tell ya that their little brother (Orlanth) loves to play with his storm toys, but a true warrior of wit and courage doesn't need them to triumph.
