>(Wendy) Maybe it's really THE Arapiles, as in the one and only, the unique and insurpassable
That's also how I see it - but in hindsight, perhaps in that case it'd be "Arapiles, The Rock" :)

>(Mike Bee)It's grammatically incorrect (and a pet hate of mine, so that why I'm pulling you up on it).
I think it's fascinating how issues that are crucially important to human X are of absolutely no interest whatsoever to fellow-human Y, who shares 99.9% of X's DNA. And human X genuinely can't understand why human Y would feel that way, and vice-versa. Internet forums have a way of bringing this to the fore!! For example, it's bizarre (to me) that people would waste minutes of their time posting 'this thread is bullshit' or 'this grammar is wrong' on a thread about bolting at Araps. But, I'm sure they're thinking I'm equally bizarre.

>(Mike Bee)Sorry, now back to the previously running circular argument!
What circle? Sometimes, when people are utterly sick of talking about something, they say 'We're going 'round in circles'. As a newb, I'm trying to better understand the 'rules' for bolting at Araps, and perhaps improve the situation there. I think that is a useful discussion.

>(Eduardo Slabofvic)The only people who would go on the committee are the same people who are spraying bolts all over the place.
I don't get it. If you're passionate about what they're responsible for, you either get on the committee, or make sure someone who represents your view is on the committee. It's your choice whether to participate (directly/indirectly) or not. I think participating in a committee like that would beat ranting on Chockstone after bolts had been placed!!
