Nope, a different Peter, who occasionally posts to threads on
sci.archaeology, but he frequents a different newsgroup AFAIK, only
occassionally popping up when something is crossposted. Hence, when I wrote
"I used to think you were one of the more decent posters, back when you
would post to some of the discussions when they were cross-posted to
sci.archaeology", it was actually the other Peter I think of as being
decent. I had no opinion of you, and now I have a very low opinion of you.
