Piles? Did you follow those links? There are three categories: fansites (not authoritative nor deep), travel brochures and tour packages (not interested and all), and interesting sites. Let's consider the interesting sites. True, they are interesting, but compare their content and the amount of it to what I can find in the Library: Ancient Britain : the cradle of civilization, 343 pages The Druid bible, 189 pages The enigma of Stonehenge, 126 pages >From Stonehenge To Modern Cosmology., 96 pages Great Stone Circles, 199 pages Der Handel In Der Vorzeit, 340 pages The Making Of Stonehenge, 305 pages Megalithic Science, 256 pages [and so on, 27 books] So I posit that the interesting content in the library is much deeper and richer than what's on the internet. Plus, 27 hits, and *all* are spot on what I want, no fluff or crap. Obviously, for tech stuff, the internet is authoritative. And there should be travel brochures and fan sites on the internet. But I would much rather "googling for Stonehenge" returned 27 hits comprising thousands of printed pages of meaty, well-established and respected literature, than the way the internet *currently* is. Right now all the travel brochures, fan sites, TV entertainment, and (meagre) scholarly research is all mixed together. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
