Hugh amount of time and energy? Who had the 12 ton replica made? I did.

Who organized the transport for the same? I did.

Who obtained permission to use the field at Crich? I did.

Who obtained and paid for the insurance for the experiment? I did.

Who two years before built a 4-ton concrete replica and did the initial experiments? I Did.

That is not to say I am ungrateful for the help and encoragement I received from all who took part.

You see, I DO acknowledge your effort. Although you may perceive it to be so, my agenda here is not a personal vendetta. I'm just not willing to sit quietly by while you continue to push stone-rowing as THE answer to moving large stones.

I'm not even particularly presenting dragging as THE answer either, though I think it's a strong candidate. I'm only using it as a comparison because we had a clear demonstration of both methods under near identical conditions.

The stone-rowing horse died at Foamhenge and no amount of flogging will make it any more or less dead.
