- This is not a very high volume newsgroup. I think that if the participants
- try to stick to archaeology, there should be room to discuss the pyramids
- and other Egyptian archaeological themes, including some of the more
- controversial points of view. There appear to be others who regard
- some of those viewpoints as irredemably beyond the possibility of
- ever being able to be called scientific, and that they should be
- banned from the group. But sending all of Egypt into exile (get it?)
- well I don't know about that. True an a.e. group might attract more
- interest and become quite wild and (gasp) unscientific.
