You seem really interested in having your opinion heard so I was giving you an avenue to share it. You certainly don't have to. I am not in charge of how you want to spend your time.

Sorry, I already got my full ration of feedback from morons today. Try again tomorrow?

Reminds me an old story.

Two monks live on opposite sides of a lake.

One day the monk on the East bank sends the other a letter. "I am firm and unmovable. I am like a boulder with my roots set deep in the Earth."

West bank sends back a note. One word. "Fart."

Enraged, the East bank monk climbs into his boat and rows across to demand satisfaction.

West bank meets him with a smile. "You claim to be firm and unmovable, but I can get you to fly across the lake with a single fart."

In other words, you funny

See, you have a lot of things to think about submitting for tomorrow!

That's the best you can come up with?

Going to a rule you already broke?

You just aren't worthy of my attention.

And when I say I'm done, I'm done.

I know it's not funny or clever, but you just aren't worth the minor effort.

About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...
