Well put Rhiannon.
Goodness knows I've tried to work out why I am hooked on visiting old rocks. As all of us here probably have.
Don't feel that you've been daft LTL, the discussions here on tma forum can be quite sceptical abut all the new agey stuff, because in the past there have been folk who have appeared and talked endlessly about their own personal new-agey theories. But these folk were not really interested in the sites, just in how they could be used to back up their ideas about their own theories.
You seem to genuinely get the buzz from visiting the sites, and so far, I've not heard you go on and on about Lizards, Giant teeth, The Ark of the Covenant, Atlantis any of that stuff, so I really wouldn't worry about having put your foot in it. Enthusiasm for is a Good Thing in my book :)
