Not at the level of this forum, that's unquestionable.
You know... I'm not that sure if people is really aware of how valuable and rare the combined knowledge, direct or indirect, that one can find here truly is.

Hence, the result: we're spoiled.

Well, at least I know I am: now when I see, for example, a bladed weapon from the Philippines in a museum I feel a strange disappointment when it's not classified within a plus/minus 25-years period and, of course, attributed to at least, a tribe.
Knowledge is such a funny thing...
