You're confusing history with archeology. History happened a long time ago. Archeology is happening now, and finds are most certainly news. The reconstruction pictured above has been recently created for a museum exhibit. Chat, indeed!
Is all science coming off the front page?
No I'm telling you how the Mods look at it. This has been a two year battle between me and the mods. I've had friends banned or essentially driven off because of the mods moving their threads. I know they are trying to get things out of news and into the general forum. It's a worthless effert if you ask me but if there is one thing I've learned over the last two years is my voice counts for nothing around here.
