Agreed. Having worked with Troll, I can say that he is one of the most knowledgable and consciencious archaeologists that I have ever met. Any comments he made in the Kition thread only reflected his despair of the destruction of valuable culture. The loss of his input on this forum is not a good sign.
Anybody who knows Troll would know that he is a cheeky sod, but a champion bloke.
It is my view that over the last few years the BAJR has changed from being a lively and spirited forum to a more mundane and repressive one. Lines have been drawn between consultants and diggers and archaeologists and detectorists. I have already cancelled my britarch subscription and I hope I do not have to do the same here.
Perhaps some people should stop taking themselves so seriously, cut the whining, and engage in some of the invaluable debate that taught me so much in earlier years.
