Eugene,

Thank you for the information...that is a response that may have helped the person asking the original question. I have been on this list for nearly 3 years, and couldn't tell you how to navigate the archive. The instructions are fairly unclear, and for a brand new member, probably close to impossible. 

By taking an extra 30 seconds, we can all share our knowledge rather than making a member feel 'dumb' for asking a question that we've seen before. The person originally posting the question could have continued promoting a false piece of information (which many historic homes STILL do), but instead chose to come here for some clarification...not to be hit with the sarcasm stick.

Subject: Re: Closet Question and Member Disrespect


I was curious, so I finally got around to searching the archives.  I found one lengthy thread in 2004, wherein all the historians who had actually researched the topic had come up empty -- no closet tax.  While absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, still, no one seems to have found an instance where this tax was levied.

As for "disrespect" -- eh, no biggie.  It was a simple yes or no question, and a simple answer would have been nice, but reminding people of the wonderful resource that is the archives is no small service, either.

GREECE: SECRETS OF THE PAST is a sweeping OMNIMAX journey back in time. The film sets out on a quest to uncover the buried secrets of the Bronze and Golden Ages of ancient Greece. Using modern archaeology, the film weaves a compelling story about this culture's rapid progress in science, politics, philosophy, sports and art. Dig for clues at Santorini, dive into the Aegean Sea to discover a 2,000-year-old statue of Poseidon, and witness a remarkable re-creation of the Parthenon - this is classic OMNIMAX.
