Well, surely sadly, Nigel, there are places/venues/outlets where a bit of outreach funding would influence many more people.

But that's probably not the point. I'll beat this horse one more time, then quit. One or two small examples...

Professional archaeologists are usually referred to on this forum as "archeos." (Or some variant of the spelling.) That's insulting; it's an obvious attempt to belittle the accomplishments of the profession.

When specific archaeologists are mentioned, it is often by acronym: "MPP" or similar. That also is insulting. The poster has obviously chosen to not bother to take their oh-so-precious time to spell out the name.

Please note that while I am certainly replying to your post --lazily, rather than starting a new thread-- I'm not singling out you or anyone in particular for these behaviors. It just seems endemic to the forum. It's a kind of culture here.

In short, you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. And I oughttah know.
