God alone knows! It all depends if you are yet another avatar of
Pete the Troll again. If you are, yes, if you are not, no. If
you are an avatar of Pete the Troll, you are probably so confused
that you don't know who you are, so this won't help much :-)

I am posting in my real name and until a few days ago I had never read
this ng. I live at 12 Beatty Road Ipswich and I am in the 'phone book
in my wife name of J. Turtill. I do not know of Pete the Troll.

Don't play into the trolls hands pete, it's what they want.

1) Tell everyone the Trolls don't bother you.
2) Say you've killfiled them, yet continue to respond.
3) Tell other people off who repsond despite doing so yourself.
4) Continually talk about Trolls while maintaining
they're having no effect.
5) Publicly post killfile rules so the Trolls know
how to avoid them.
6) Make lame legal threats and other barrel scraping
manoeuvres when your abuse reports are ignored.
7) Eat vast quantities of pies.
8) Forget to brush your teeth for several decades.
9) Help a demon.local poster with their email while
secretly reading it.
10) Pretend you're a hard ******* when in fact you're
as bent as a roundabout.
11) Become the laughing stock of Usenet like Mabbet
12) Die of old age
13) Keep paying Dr Chartham his fees and hope one day you
will have a penis the girls can see.

Probably because GM is here at last - albeit tied up in expensive red tape:

It is a pretty minor issue here, as
maize is a fairly minor crop and it has no close wild relatives in
the UK.

I think it is on the increase, Nick.
Round here we had acres of the stuff grown last year, for the first time
that I can remember, and we have been here since 1971.

We've so over used pesticides, ripped out hedges, cleared ground cover that
we have lost vast numbers of birds, butterflies, wild flowers - think DDT,
alone banned, I think in 1947? When did you last hear a cuckoo?

We hear them here every year, still.
But no nightjars any more :(

But I am ANTI GM, so don't think I am 'getting at you' :)))

What the public thinks is of absolutely no consequence to 'the powers
that be' - we have found that out the hard way.

I often wonder if we live in a democracy any more.
We certainly don't have freedom of speech any more :((((

The message
from Sacha contains these words:

Comparative lack of meadow pipits, tree pipits, hedge sparrows, reed
warblers, sedge warblers, pied wagtails, and robins?

I haven't seen pipits or warblers but lots of sparrows and robins, a few
pied wagtails, though not many. I didn't realise cuckoos were fussy as to
which nests they usurped! This wouldn't account for others around here not
having cuckoos but I wonder if our very noisy and busy rookery keeps them
away.

They (FSVO they) have a list of about fifty species they will use as
host for their pretty babies, but I don't think it's known whether any
hen cuckoo will choose any of the fifty, or perhaps, just those which
match the colour of her eggs.
