	A while back I published a whole series of articles on Stonehenge,
its astronomical connections and its relationship to Celtic culture. I
received a quite excessive amount of flak from some people on these articles.
Some of these complainers couldn't reason their way out of a wet paper bag,
but they were absolutely sure that what I had written was absolutely wrong.
Someone even complained that these articles were not pertinent to
net.nlang.celts because they had nothing to do with Celtic culture! Someone
else complained that these articles should appear nowhere else but in
net.nlang.celts. And when I wrote some articles about a music festival, there
appeared a couple of really racist comments about that. At a certain point I
decided to change the subject and now some people complain about my current
topic. I guess you just can't please everyone.
	It seems only logical that if there are so many more interesting
topics to write about, some of my critics could get together and write
some POSITIVE articles of their own and bury me with their eloquence
instead of wasting their energy in NEGATIVE articles and the constant search
for my peccadilloes.
	To my critics I say: How about it guys? Can you pour forth your
knowledge and style upon the nets and show us all how it should be done?
How about a good article on Stonehenge or New Grange or a bit of ancient
folklore or poetry? After all I don't remember ever taking an oath to write
ALL the articles for a particular net. Maybe we might find a new theory or two
on some of those unsolved mysteries. Remember, it is better to light a single
candle than to curse the darkness.

How about Stonehenge, similar structures, ley lines, Celtic mythology (e.g.
Rhiannon) or new insights into the modern implications or applicability to/of
these things.

p.s. like many newsgroups, this one is pretty quiet because, like me, most
people are readers rather than writers.  If I knew of these things I'd
contribute and discuss, but mostly I'm looking for new data.

Well, I did ask for information about megalithic lunar observatories once.
It did meet with a little bit of response.  It seems to me that this group
is used for two purposes.  The first of those is Jim McGhee (and maybe one
or two others, I don't really know, I don't pay that much attention) using
it to air their feelings on current English oppression/blunders/silliness.
This sometimes garners other people's talk  on their feelings on current
Irish terrorism/explosions/silliness.  The second is legitimate Celtic
matters.

I for one would be interested in a  discussion on megalithic observatories.
Once again, does anyone reading this live near or know of any observatories
in the states?  Are they lunar, solar, or stellar?  Has anyone attempted to
build any stone sights themselves?

I think Sunny has made a good suggestion which may send this news group
in a positive direction. For my part, I would like to know what the
readers of/contributors to this group know about the Mabinogion--is there
a more or less "standard" version? Do people have their own favorite
versions? How many different versions are available? etc...

Thanks for the info.
