hello again have just been through a heap of fun over this one and it raises all sorts of issues and is in fact never ending, are bones in a cave to be removes or respected, what gives an archaeologist the right to remove anything and why do the MOD allow display of artefacts from a war grave in a museum. The bottom line is that it depends were on the agenda that you lie and who needs you. The agency discussion John G was an attempt to get you folks to realise that the only way to educate is not to limit the listeners. Your strokism and rules have some substance but the application is a reminder of a guy called Adolf, we can all learn from each other but you guys seem to want to exclude all who dont salute in the same way. Believe or be cast aside has a history of creating a reaction, in fact its a system that started with a few individuals and now will not cater for them.
