this does not happen in archaeology

As you know, I usually try to ignore Unit's posts, but this is such a ridiculous statement that it has to be highlighted. Only yesterday I was involved in a tendering situation where the developer sent a specification for an archaeological evaluation to five companies and asked each to submit their quote for the work. If this is not tendering in archaeology, I don't know what is - and it's by no means unusual. (Didn't win the tender, by the way).

I only saw this post because I was viewing the thread as a guest rather than being logged under my profile - I'm not going to trawl back through the thread to read all his other posts, as I suspect the unhinged lunacy would only put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day!
