After a short while reading this newsgroup in an attempt to either
contribute or gain information about Wheal Friendship mines at Mary Tavy (a
place where I live incidentaly...) I am amazed at the nitpicking and rancour
that exists within the group.
Obviously the Staff Room attitudes and usual academic jealousies have
spilled on to the web. What a pity. I'm off back to the safer world of
search engines and spam.
Bye.
