Well, I've been saying the same thing about metal detecting over and over and over for ten years and slowly, slowly it's working so you are picking on the wrong person to accuse of being silly to repeat things.
Not quite the same, is it old bean? I don't believe for a minute that the minds of metal detectorists are being swayed by your forum posts on TMA. Comparing apples and oranges is...well... silly ;)
I didn't say my forum posts on TMA had swayed the minds of metal detectorists - they don't read TMA. I think my efforts elsewhere have had an appreciable effect however - not just on some of them them but on the public attitudes of CBA and EH which are now virtually the same as mine ten years ago when I started my boring and repetitive campaign.
My point was that repetition of what is right and in the public interest pays off in the end. Telling people not to say it any more strikes me as very strange. Why the blue blazes should those who say don't climb the hill be told not to do so (and that they are "silly", twice) while those who climb the hill aren't told not to climb the hill?
