Right, this is all a bit out of hand really. Dunno who posted the slur that's now my sig - but I like it, not sure 'bout the right wing bit tho'. Anyway it did give my colleagues a good laugh this morning. The thing about the Digger subs was a joke that obviously misfired, but hey never mind - I won't be donating my Xmas bonus to it though. My comments if abstruse perhaps - are due to a lack of understanding - from the class comments in the Digger letter and all this campus lite political posturing that has since ensued. I'm not an ist either myself - Well I am, I'm an archaeolog-ist anyway and I thought that was what this board was about. I personally view all this class and politics stuff as a red herring - we are all archaeologists and know what the problems are facing the 'profession', some of which were identified in that letter. From Beer Beast's posts I take it that all that mattered to him was the OA bit whereas I took that and the class stuff as a bit irrelevant. I'd rather be called a Trotskyite than right wing any day - but if that's the way I'm to be painted on the strength of a couple of v. short posts fair play.
