Greeting
I am new denizen of Wikiworld and am adapting cautiously to the new environment.
Please feel free to offer any ideas that may aid in this endeavor or that relate to my edits/additions.
As Willie Nelson once said: "The cyberlife ain't no good life... but it's my life."
Pages I've made changes to so far
Food for Thought
"As Rhys Carpenter put it, some archaeologists are slow to realize 'that they are burning the book of history as they read it.' More loss of scholarly information is suffered through excavation in the cause of scholarship than through tomb-robbing for collectors and museums, yet the non-publishing excavators continue to enjoy credit for their discoveries (credit better paid to the ancient creators of what they unearthed) rather than be branded as academic felons." - John Boardman, "The Greeks Overseas."
Comments
- I contracted Hellenophilia about ten years ago and am currently in a treatment program that at mimimum allows me to cope and function somewhat normally on a day to day basis. It was shock to me and a lesson hard won just how infectious libraries can be. God only knows where all those books have been. And librarians... well they can be a treacherous lot!
- I have several articles in preparation, mostly on ancient historic subjects.
- "Polite? Why it's merely the truth and the truth is always good manners."
