Inspired by a folklore post made by Rhiannon I found myself looking at the entries for Winterbourne Bassett Stone Circle - once again was impressed by the information, investigation and sheer knowledge that has been accumulated on the web-site.

Someone named Maria, whom I have never come across before, posted a little snippet which I felt linked into Rhiannon's post.

Just a thought, as things are quiet here at the moment - and very sadly, a few of the excellent previous contributors are no longer around for one reason or another. Would anyone be interested in highlighting past topics or persons that have made TMA such a valuable resource - and one that will always rise above personal antagonisms which occasionally arise when different personalities gather together.

Hmm... Well, personally, I think there are still some people around that make valuable contributions, but to highlight them might make others feel that their contributions aren't as worthy, as has happened before...

It's true to say that a few key contributors over the years have found other outlets, sadly for us here, but that shouldn't stop the rest of us from trying! :)

The beauty of this site, and the web in general, is the organic way in which we discover things for ourselves. In my humble opinion. :)

Hi Tjj...I know Maria personally she is an old friend of mine. She lives in Marlborough and is very knowledgeable :)))

June,
There are lots of great contributors to TMA. Most people on here who have left reports have been well worth reading, but some stand out. Some write about varied places, others about their particular area, and give great reports, and info on differing sites.
As far a writing goes, and purely on that, the late Treaclechops was a gem. Her prose was second to none in my book.
This is similar to another post, but I think yours came first. Doesn't matter, as I've answered both of 'em. Same answer, hopefully, or I'll look a right tw@.
Regards,
TE.
