And this whole unedifying spectacle of fuckwittery reminds me why I don't bother with this sort of thread most of the time.

I do not think it is a) big or b) clever to make misleading and frequently completely wrong statements about what John Michell did. It seems very clear to me that some people making derogatory comments haven't read "The Old Stones of Land's End" (or haven't understood it) and also do not know West Penwith. Go and do something useful and creative. Don't sneer at the dead.

Andy, my LOL wasn't about JM it was about your defence of him on the maudlin grounds that "it's easy to pick on someone who is now safely dead and can't defend himself". I guess Shakespeare, Jesus and Hitler can't be picked on either! A bit silly wasn't it?

PS, as for *an unedifying spectacle of fuckwittery*, someone who has been on telly telling millions of viewers they are dowsing the original layout of an ancient site really shouldn't throw such phrases about!
