who's sniping who? and first too! I'm just replying in a like manner....ok?

Surely when an issue is being discussed the argument has to take two sides and hopefully a consensus will be arrived at? Attacking a particular person doesnt help the argument in question. Nigel feels strongly about the issue of Silbury Hill, Do you have an opinion one way or the other about the grouting or keeping the tunnel open? We still don't know, you sidetrack the subject elsewhere. Nigel is a good ranter, he brings the issue to the forefront, see his metal detecting work over the past few months, he's not paranoic about the subject just passionate and lets rip at a few archaeologists now and then..... HA draws the attention of people to what is happening to the monuments and landscapes around them, it takes an independent stand and an independent view from the standard bodies that are supposed to protect them; something you can hopefully do in a democracy without being shouted down......
