Replying to Steve Gray

I've never said a word Steve, I think you must be thinking of somone else. I was one of the first to sign up for stone shifting (& I think Nigel will back me up on all this). I only dropped out of the conversation when it got beyond my mechanical knowledge.

For me, I've never cared how many threads there are or what length, esp on this subject.

I think it was me that suggested Nigel start 'thread 2' with the summary to bring people up to speed. Only at some point inthread 3 did I stop avidly reading each word. I eagerly await the date & sincerely hope that commitments allow me to take part!

love

Moth

I'll back you up Moth. I have to, as I've never been able to distinguish between an interesting thread and a humorous tangent and like to build both with equal enthusiasm.
I DO wish you and lots of others would contribute more though, humorous or otherwise. The mechanical side is a bit daunting I know, and Gordon and Steve have now lost me so they're pretty much on their own on that, but there's an awful lot of archaeological stuff to consider and try to get authentic.

Replying to Moth

I wasn't referring to you specifically. And it's nice to have you on board. Actually, I think it was Goffik who said "Sheesh! Get a room, willya?", a remark which I wasn't sure how to take; the options being:

1. That we should have a discussion "room" specifically for Stone shifting (not a bad idea). :^)
2. That we should discuss our ideas somewhere else, hmmm... :^|
3. That we should get a hotel room so that we could be alone together, oooo... :^O

Since it was posted as a first level response to this new thread, I took it to be a comment on the volume of messages.

Sorry, Goffik, I know you've already apologised and I don't want to keep harping on about it. Perhaps a qualification would put the matter to rest. You may have had some entirely different intention that I have misinterpreted.
