Oi! Just leave it lads, it's not worth it.
Steve, precisely which official voice of professional archaeology is it that says over half of its members are drug abusers? I don't recognise this statistic at all, and I know quite a lot of archaeologists. All I have seen here is one rant from an anonymous source (very brave, by the way), plus a bit of anecdodage about 'something that once happened somewhere'. Personally, I doubt that drug use among archaeologists is higher than it is among plumbers, or policemen for that matter.
A few posts ago you claimed 'not to take statistics that have been bandied about on this thread seriously unless substantiated with hard proof'. Have you changed your mind, or are you just intent on causing trouble?
As for you Troll, calm down mate, for goodness sake. It's really not worth getting all aggressive about.
