I take your point, but I do think that politics can be relevant on the MA when it involves our heritage, as I hope the original premise of this thread should demonstrate. It can be a very blurred area sometimes.
When I first joined this forum, I used to think it was ridiculously strict on content. Everything was stones. Everything was Neolithic, Iron Age, Bronze age... OT was rare. Now it's the norm and I feel a bit anal about it sometimes. :D
