Perhaps if he used the Forum to share his ideas or even provide another link to where he is working he would get more support (if that is what you're commenting upon/after).
BAJR provides a focus and a discussion arena for lots of issues (for which I for one am very grateful) and I imagine co-ordinating BAJR-ites woud be akin to herding cats so Hosty is WELL out of that.
It's not a good time to be nit picky with others but a time to share and garner support for particular efforts. I don't have time for BAJR and Facebook (which I loathe) and lots of other websites. It's all here and I can follow other links as I choose.
So please, let's stop back biting and jockey-ing for position on who's done the most. If you care about archaeology THAT'S what it is about.
When we've saved it as a profession we can go back to the mess commercial archaeology is in later...
GPStone did post in "BAJR", so unless you actively frequent the forum, you missed it. As for lectures, I did my undergraduate courses years ago.:face-approve:
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
