Rightyho.We disagree in the strongest possible terms.Before we deteriorate further down the road of "lunacy" and "putting ones money where their mouth is", lets get something nice and clear here.I am more than willing to discuss the issue ad infinitum on here on condition that personal crud does`nt creep in.An opinion at variance to yours does`nt become "lunacy".As to "putting money where my mouth is"- we have already discussed on here the simple issue: field workers rely on short term contracts.1man1desk is asking that I inform the IFA of breaches. The day I do that (the postman will suffer a hernia) wiil mark my last day in the job.I will become unemployable.Whilst I agree that it must be nice to be in a permanent position and able to pass breaches onto the IFA-fieldworkers on short-term contracts don`t share the level of security of tenure that you do.Your responses illustrate two important points:
1.complete ignorance of the current state of play in modern commercial archaeology and,
2.the misguided view that my opinion is in any way in the minority.
Again- the IFA do not represent a strong authoritative body and do not ensure effective self-regulation.
..knowledge without action is insanity and action without knowledge is vanity..(imam ghazali,ayyuhal-walad)
