If this conversation was happening about a year ago I'd be rather reluctant to believe you, RVD, but things have changed and I have put things aside. A Dory (or Doru depending on your spelling) CAN be thrown though, not necessarily at the best range but it still can...the weapons you are talking about are more like the xyston, maybe even a short sarissa like Alexander's Prodromoi cavalry carried.
