Well, to give the right end of the stick, to correct misreporting and untrue rumours, to stimulate public interest and involvement and to "outreach" (whatever that means, but archaeologists, particularly those using public funds, have a duty to do it).
They have their roles to play and me mine, I know my views are just as valid as someone trying to sell a book or themselves, I at least have never done anything for money, so at least I'm righteous on that score, I don't want anything from anybody, the same can't be said for them, they want money and your recognition [for something that'll be proved wrong down the line], if you want universal truths come to Bladup [tongue firmly in cheek] because i'll give you truth and i don't even want your money or your recognition, The real truth is often found in the middle of two contrasting idea's.
