I've joined archaeoseek, even tho I hate to sign up for anything. And
I've found it useful for getting artifacts ID'ed. Some people actually
take the trouble to look through my posts and help me out, which is
great. Like Ron, I don't really understand the pal system, and hope I
haven't offended anyone by failing to respond to their requests. I
think I tried to respond to some requests and flubbed it.
But I think it's a good site because I don't have to get involved in
the more social aspects -- each member can choose their own level of
involvement. The fact that it offers options for those who are more
comfortable on line than I am is not a problem. So I endorse it.
