Rhiannon,
There's a brief factual account of the meeting on the Heritage Journal http://www.heritageaction.org/?page=theheritagejournal
In addition we'll be giving a much more detailed account together with our own views on the main HA site in due course.

You're quite right about the trolling. It has made it impossible to say much about it here. I said something above simply to disprove the assertion that HA had somehow not done it's homework extremely thoroughly or somehow had misread the published documents. It's without foundation, pretty insulting and couldn't be further from the truth. I won't hold my breath for an apology though, it's in the nature of trolls to hit and run.

Nigel,
So at the end of the day are you a happy bunny?

Why should I apologise? You have been constantly trumpeting doom and gloom about EHs very well detailed and researched proposals, based on your own very biased viewpoint.

Perhaps you should apologise for the way EH's proposals have been presented by yourself & HA? You deliberately chose to twist the contents of the Risk Assessment and concentrate on a very unlikely possibility and put it forward as a certain probability.

Well I do hope that not everyone who takes a different view to Nigel's is to be classified as a troll.

SPB has a certain abrasive style, but her replies to my recent questions have been informative and courteous.

There does appear to have been misunderstanding, stance defending and now position adjusting

The one hopeful sign that I now perceive is in this line from HA's newspage:
"Crucially, we are reassured by the knowledge of Professor Chandler and his commitment to Silbury's integrity."

Let us hope that confidence in Professor Chandler is justified and remedial work will procede with minimal delay and damage. Is that not what really matters?

Thank you Nigel. It sounds positive and I look forward to the detailed bit.
