I don't think he said/meant that Paul, maybe a misinterpretation ?

Either way, maybe just agree to disagree ?

I've never agreed with him ever, so we always have to agree to disagree but i don't think you can misunderstand - " I have a suspicion that there is a genuine placebo effect at work at many circles whether old or modern, arising from a pleasing proportionality", if he doesn't feel anything, how can anyone else? it's just silly, he's saying the feeling you sometimes get at circles is just because the stones are in a pleasing shape, that's more in your gardening world geoff than anything to do with the position of stone circles that mark real circles in the landscape, at stone circles the land gives the impression of spiraling into the circle and the circle is always just off center, the position is already in the landscape, he seems to be saying that they're just a pleasing on the eye circle of stones, thats it, i'm just wondering what interests him then, as there's no mystery to him at all, I for one "feel" all the ritual that went on at these places, my lad has always had the same thing, he was only 3 when he wouldn't go into the Druid's circle because of what he said went on to children there!!! [he'd not heard me say anything about the place, i'd not even been before].
