I agree with Ned here, what is the point of doing any archaeology at all
if we keep it all to ourselves? However I feel I may be taking coals to
Newcastle or trying to explain ice to Eskimos when I give the Australian
Blacksmiths Association (Victoria) a planned talk on the findings of my
thesis on a 20th century blacksmiths shop. But maybe I will learn more
than them, we will see!
