[net.nlang.celts] Multiple Postings on Stonehenge

jmm@bonnie.UUCP (Joe Mcghee) (07/18/84)

	When I initially posted my articles on Stonehenge, I wanted to involve
people not only with an interest in Celtic culture, but people with a knowledge
of astronomy, physics, general culture, general science and those who live near
Stonehenge. I have gotten favorable replies from professional astronomers and
many others by mail. When I stopped using net.general, I immediately received
a complaint from someone in England about being cut out of the discussion along
with a request to mail him all future articles.
	Last week I spoke with Prof. Gerald Hawkins on the phone. He seemed
interested in what I was doing and graciously offered to mail me a computer
model of Stonehenge to test some of my ideas. I assume that this means my
ideas might have some scientific merit in his estimation. I remember reading
in one of his books that when he first proposed his theories on Stonehenge
he received a lot of acrid abuse from various people. I guess these things
just run in cycles.
