If this is the level of debate that this thread has descended to, we might as well all give up now.
With respect, Renatus, I don't altogether agree. (Perhaps it's a matter of lightening up a bit). It seems to me to be OK, from time to time, as long as the thread is not lost for too long.
Firstly, around the solstice is a bit of a silly season.
Secondly, more importantly, sometimes a real lateral idea comes from it. As a feeble example, I began to wonder whether the pigeon post was available to SP, who was operating at longer distances. But because they did not seem to have a written language, probably not the Iceni?
Addendum. Frontinus said that Julius Caesar used pigeons as messengers in his conquest of Gaul
