It's been a while, but I'd like to provide evidence that I did coin the term 'megarak' and not Alligator Descartes. It's first use was by myself on the Stones Mailing list here: 5th October 1997

Unless Alligator can provide any evidence of it's use earlier than this then that's it deciced.
There's also something of a quite historic exchange between myself and Alligator here:

AB: Do you fancy helping with a mad ambitious endeavor to get images of every single megalith on the Internet? Again have a look at the Prehistoric Web Index.

AD: Well, this is part of where the whole Web idea comes in, one would imagine. I'm perfectly happy to continue putting up images of the Scottish sites since they're pretty reachable, and I'm sure I'd be ably aided and abetted by Martin McCarthy on this one. I'm pretty sure between us we can cover quite a good proportion of the sites.
With thanks to Chris Tweed for such a good list archive
Cheers,
Andy B
