      - Not a matter of priorities. It is a matter of your too-often-used rhetorical game. - alcaray - 1/17/2005 9:59:02 PM
        
        Well. - Tom Brosz - 1/17/2005 10:09:36 PM
        
        I suspect that Raoul does not seriously advocate teaching our troops archaeology - alcaray - 1/17/2005 11:20:44 PM

        How do you join the "Archaeological Police"? - alcaray - 1/18/2005 4:39:17 PM
        
        Current definition of "confusion" here: - Tom Brosz - 1/18/2005 6:58:05 PM
        
        I think I pretty much stipulated that in my post - alcaray - 1/18/2005 7:12:23 PM
        
        I disagree. - Tom Brosz - 1/18/2005 8:00:08 PM
        
        show me one in-depth piece so I know what you are talking about - alcaray - 1/18/2005 9:07:04 PM
        
        What is your definition of "in depth?" - Tom Brosz - 1/18/2005 9:14:04 PM
        
        I asserted that internet news sources were not "in-depth" - alcaray - 1/18/2005 9:51:16 PM

        guess we can't agree on the definition (n/t) - alcaray - 1/19/2005 4:01:56 PM
        
        I think we agree on the definition. - Tom Brosz - 1/19/2005 7:39:58 PM
        
        You keep ignoring that I was talking about an in-depth source - alcaray - 1/19/2005 9:52:57 PM
        
        Afraid you're out of luck, then. - Tom Brosz - 1/19/2005 10:44:36 PM
