Getting Serious about Conservation

One big question:

Are we concerned with a snappy name for an exclusive TMA action group or do we hope to attract others with similar concerns and so GROW more powerful?

If we want to be more powerful then we have to seek to influence decision makers and public opinion as well as to sit in front of bulldozers. Think about how allies and enemies may perceive us - then look at names, words and acronyms with a thought for their effectiveness rather than cleverness.
I can only repeat that the scope and purpose must come before titles on headed notepaper.

One little question:

Why are people on TMA so bloody coy about spelling ROMANS and CHRISTIANS?

The answer to your little question is that it's a daft little in-joke that some of us use coz we have our strong reservations about R*mans & xtians...!

As far as your more serious points are concerned ES, I'll leave it to Nigel, as the whole thing came from his origanal thoughts.

There was an unbroken priestly oral tradition going back aeons that was (sadly) invested in a minority. The R*m*ns destroyed this by herding the Celtic druids onto Mona and killing them all. Now we know how the circles (eg) were made - because the craftspersons' oral tradition has continued to contemporary times - but we don't know why they were made - nor how they were laid out.

Guy Fawkes is a minor deity now - at least round here !
