It's rather sad and does > not help your cause. Colin, The sad thing is that the 'NO to r.a.a' movement have decided to conduct part of their campaign from behind a veil of anonymity. Although exactly who 'they' are is open to question, except to say, yourself and anon99451 appear to speak with a uncannily similar viewpoint, one could almost believe they were the same person. My apologies go out to those of a sensitive disposition for the expletives, but as your previous attempts to comprehend a more intellectually sophisticated argument have been a demonstrably inept, on this occasion the necessity for an unambiguous statement may have been vindicated. Paul.
