        Enough of this. I don't close doors to anything. That
metaphor, however, has been tortured enough. Let's drop it.

        I have no intention of ignoring archaeologically-related
matters simply because they have little support. I retain the
right to ignore archaeologically-related matters that I just
don't care about.

        FWIW, the burden of most of my recent, irritated replies to
Inger has had to do, not with ignoring something, but with
wanting to know more about it. I've been trying to kick down a
couple of firmly closed doors. (Sorry for the slip.)

        BTW, my 'professional yea-saying brigade' comment was in direct
response to you putting me in the 'agin it' group. Nice
rhetorical point scored, off your own assist. Whatever you
think, I'm open to persuasion on any issue, even ones I've
settled in my mind.
