We have no way of stopping excavations in the future no matter whether we are for or against them. Human nature makes us curious, which is a good thing. Without curiosity we have only ignorance. The intent of English Heritage is for the good of Silbury Hill and its all about ones intentions. I still stand by my beliefs that the Time Capsule is of no harm to Silbury Hill; it will be put in with love and contain objects placed in there by people filled with excitement, enthusiasm and the desire to give something as a gift or a gesture.
I also strongly believe that given half a chance most of you would have loved to be in my position on Friday.Me thinks too many people who feel they should be involved have been overlooked, and as their two penneth isn't wanted, are taking the proverbial hump.
Don't worry I can feel the hate," how dare she"'s, and" who does she think she is" already....................................and it bothers me not!!!!
Happy and proud to be involved

As I said, a decision based on emotions rather than commonsense.

Thanks you for helping me make my point!

As for 'no harm', I still don't see that as a reason to do something. A coke can filled with offerings buried in the top of the hill will also do 'no harm', but that doesn't excuse it as an act of desecration.

You'll get no hate from me, Scousemaiden. And not from anyone else here, I think. Just because we have contrary opinions, doesn't mean that there is hatred here. Strong words, I think. We're all on this board for a reason; because we feel we belong here.

Peace

"Me thinks too many people who feel they should be involved have been overlooked, and as their two penneth isn't wanted, are taking the proverbial hump."

That is rather harsh, as I am sure you will see upon reflection. Since you can't possibly see inside people's heads it might be more appropriate to work on the assumption that they say what they do because they have a sincere belief in what they say.
