Hmm.. Now why does that not surprise me?

I'm not bothered about "claiming" the idea, though I do have most of the Stonehengineers discussions archived away, so I could look it up.

There were lots of ideas that were discussed by Stonehengineers and everyone involved contributed in some way to the development of those ideas. It was a team effort, but you were never really a team player and it seems that the rest of us ended up just being used.

So go peddle your ego to the Americans or the Russians. Just don't expect to convince us here.

This is getting boring Gordon so I'll finish but I just want to point out that that's two of us you've implied have defective memories now. In truth though, it's worse. A lot of us set up an online discussion after Foamhenge and not a single person was in the least doubt we had witnessed overwhelming evidence that dragging was vastly more efficient than rowing, to a degree that was frankly embarrassing to those of us that had previously anticipated otherwise.

You are entitled to express whatever views you wish on the subject, to Americans, Russians or anyone else but I hope that won't include failing to mention what dozens of friendly witnesses all saw and concluded that day. That just wouldn't be right. In any case, if they set up a test themselves they'll see exactly what we saw so assuring them otherwise is hardly a sustainable long term strategy.
