I just wanted to drop in and say thanks for your awesome comments on the troll article, and the new proposed sections. I appreciate your helpful tips, and I hope you won't mind stopping in from time to time and joining in on the conversation.

Happy Easter, dear Simon! Let there be joy and good things in life! How is in Mexico? In past times I was very interested in cultures of Mayas and Aztecs, but I am now studing Ancient Hawaii. But I will always remember you, just as now. Be well, dear Simon! Aloha ʻOe!- Your Mychele
Hi,
I just signed up to review your GAN Mundo Perdido, Tikal. I recognize that it's very well written and complete regarding the material it covers. My problem is that, by concentrating so much on just the archaeological aspects, the cultural meaning and the people are left out. I read Maya stelae which was so wonderful because it combined both.
I recognize that I just don't know what I'm doing here, that you're probably writing the article in the format that it should be in, but I miss any connection to the anthropomorphic. I'm wondering if I should just withdraw from the review, or whether I should try to work with you to add some connections to the use of the sites to the actual people. (Not that I'm influenced by such things, but a radio program I listen to at night often dwells on the possibility that the Mayan calender predicts (via it's understanding of astrological positioning of its structures) the possibility the world will change in December of this year.) Now, I don't put credence in that, but apparently they were very tuned in to aspects of astronomy far ahead of their times. (I'm not a nut! - I don't think so, anyway.)
