Hi, I request that you look at WP:TPNO before responding further. I also request that you read WP:RTP. This discussion has gone on for way too long, and unfortunately you seem not to be able to get the point. Discussions (or taunts, such as the section I collapsed previously) are irrelevant to making the article better. I collapsed that discussion because it has absolutely nothing to do with the article but rather your and Lindenberg's dispute with IRWolfie. If you are going to waste time being disruptive with comments like that, in the future they will be collapsed. I also remind you that Wikipedia is not a forum, and that this talk page is not your general discussion page for tau; those will be collapsed too as they are also irrelevant to the improvement of this article, or lack thereof as it might be. I ask that you please stop disrupting Wikipedia by continuing your discussions here. | toxic | en |

Of course it is the job of editors to decide what is good writing and what is drivel. Of course it is the job of editors to decide what is important and what is fluff. Of course it is the job of editors to weed out nonsense and insist on proper referencing. If you think otherwise, I don't know what you are doing on Wikipedia. | toxic | en |

Fine. I apologise.
As to which of the two versions is better, I don't like how the Library of Congress article is written, and disagree it is high-quality writing. I see nothing wrong with the article narrating the events of battle; its lack of perspective on whatever you mentioned (I'd appreciate simpler English here) is easily mended; if you take the time to do so, that is. Please improve the current article instead of reverting it to the other article, which is quite unsatisfying. | toxic | en |

====================================================================
It's time again for IMHO, brought to you as always by the letters I,
M, H and O, in partnership with the goofy electronic hubris of the
Irish Internet. IMHO will be in orbit again sometime in early
December.
* * * Back issues online at http://www.imho.8m.com * * *
Formatted for easy reading in Courier New, so you might like to
print it out in that font. IMHO also contains hyperlinks to sites
of interest or relevance: read it while online, too, and check 'em
out.
In case you're wondering, we Bowdlerise colourful language (e.g.
'bas7ard') so that IMHO can sneak past corporate obscenity filters,
like a Dublin solicitor's staff car zooming slyly down the taxi lane
with a cheap post-regulation taxi plate on top: http://xsls.com?81
====================================================================
Heartfelt thanks this ish to AnnieT, Sean, Ray and the indefatigable
Mr Brennan for leads and content. And a big Brava! of
congratulations to Jacqueline on her outstanding occupational
odyssey, plus a Bravo! of felicitations to Badger for his famous
fourwheeled feat.

AN INTERNET EIREANNACH............................Ping An Irish Song
Yet another Irish internet company, Octagon Technologies, closed for
good this week. And after reading the phrase for what seemed like
the umpteen-thousandth time, we were idly wondering how many Irish
tech companies blamed their misfortunes "on the global downturn":
http://makeashorterlink.com/?S35A63392
Oh, so it's about 450 then. Thanks, Google.

The death occurred recently of that great Irish washtub musician
Lonnie Donegan. RIP. This seems like an apt time therefore to
reflect on his many accomplishments: his virtuoso playing of
utensil-based instruments, his worldwide commercial success, his
place in history as King of Skiffle, and how he wiped billions of
yen off the value of the Tokyo stock market:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=373A9C4F.61B@time.life
("panic and subsequent 10+% decline of Tokyo Stock Exchange when Reuters
advised 'Lonnie Donnegan' was dead")
and also at
http://xsls.com?80
("to Japanese ears it sounded like Ronald Reagan").

UCD's Literary and Historical Society this week awarded an honorary
fellowship to the tediously brilliant American multidisciplarian Dr
Noam Chomsky. Now the idea of some trifling college society
awarding a mere honorary fellowship actually sounds rather like an
insult to us, considering that Niall Quinn and Marian Finucane were
given *degrees* by DIT the very next day, but then Chomsky
apparently inspired some of Radiohead's most caterwaulingly blunted
songs, so we suppose it serves him right. Anyway, if you're an
admirer of the great man's hermeutic genius, linguistic philosophy
or contentious views on US foreign policy, perhaps you might also
appreciate his amazing interview of Tom Hanks:
http://www.sadiethepilot.com/aaweb/tapes.htm#tomnnoam
Very special thanks to IMHO's London correspondent Ray Butler for
this one.
*
Key IMHO contributor Sean Lynch quite realistically predicts a post-
Budget dole queue for all of us, and wonders if we'll miss those
cash-and-job cow multinationals when they're gone? Not if their
Irish presence was as permanent and impressive as "the world's
leading risk and insurance services firm", he concludes:
http://www.marsh.ie
(compare and contrast with, say, http://www.marsh.co.uk/)
*
Also: we've been remiss in the past in not featuring
EircomTribunal.com's stalwart and righteous campaigning against
Eircom's crippling rates and crippled infrastructure in this
country. Well, we aim to redress that right now, by pointing out
(1) Their 'Banana Republic' international price comparison page at
http://www.eircomtribunal.com/dossier_banana_rep.html, which will
surely make you mad enough to
(2) Download and print out their marvellously bitter "No More
Favours For You, Mr Eircom Employee" flyer from
http://www.eircomtribunal.com/counterstrike_a2_nomore.html, designed
to be stuck under the windshields of the ubiquitous and bilious
blue/orange Eircom vans.
Now if only EircomTribunal.com could somehow could retrieve that
money we all lost on bloody Eircom shares...
* * * * * * * * *
IMHO'S PICK: JOB....................IMHO HO HO (AND A BOTTLE OF RUM)
"FATHER CHRISTMAS on a bike - Student - Giving out FREEBIES - Four
weeks". No, not us telegraphing our worst nightmare to our shrink,
but a job description for a position that apparently pays "enough".
Email tmckeagney@msn.com or hell, cycle into his perfume shop at 128
The Stephens Green Centre and show him what you can do.
And hey, if you're a crazy maniac, that's great too. It's about
time we had an Irish SANTACON - after all, no force on earth can
stop one hundred Santas, especially if they're drunk:
http://www.santarchy.com/
(from the San Francisco Police Report, "the naughty Santas ... had
reeked (sic) havoc in the emporium ... in an un-Christmas like
fashion.")
*
Heh. Disproving the stereotype that all accountants are boring:
some Dublin 2 company is looking for a "Parti-time bookkeeper" at

Our attention-deficient gaze also fell briefly this week onto a box
ad in a Sunday paper which is seeking private investors for an
ADVENTURE SPORTS RETAILING business in Dublin. Now this probably
just means selling snowboards or something equally tame, but in our
imagination we see IMHO readers hunting elephants, dogfighting in
biplanes over the Wicklow Hills and abseiling down moon craters.
Just in case we're right, any "smart, experienced partner/investor"
looking for an "equity stake/board position" should "express"
"interest" to neptune@atomic.ie.
You know, it might look like we're giving these people free
advertising, but by putting their email addresses on the public web,
we're actually GUARANTEEING them spam...
* * * * * * * * *
IMHO'S PICK: EVENT...........................Allow Us To Demonstrate
Friday is BUY NOTHING DAY. For the sake of your own mental health
and the socio-economic future, we urge you to give it a try. It's
not that hard to get through 24 hours without a purchase, and those
corporate balance sheets sure look funny with a big pre-Christmas
hole in them.
The official home of BND is of course Adbusters
(http://adbusters.org/campaigns/bnd/) and they have a run-down of
Irish activities at http://xsls.com?84... rather a disappointing line-up
at this late stage, although the Zombie-Shopping in Galway sounds
like fun - shame they're moving the day to Saturday, hopefully it's
not for purpose-defeating reasons ("Friday? Damn, I'm working the
late shift at McDonald's... how about Saturday?"). In addition and
elsewhere you can expect bring-and-trade markets, flypostering, free
stuff, public speaking and all the other happy faces of democratic
consumer agitation. Punk's not dead! Party for your right to
fight! No Logo! Hare Hare! And so on.
*
We're now going to risk life and limb by mentioning an event which
is so diametrically opposed to the above that we might just bring
about the heat-death of the Internet by combining them in the one
newsletter.
We speak of course of the benighted and spiritually-denuded sickness
of the TRILOGY FASHION SHOW in the RDS on December 4th, tickets
starting at "just E50" (but rising to E395 + VAT, natch). The
advertising for this bleak celebration focuses entirely on "the most
beautiful women in the world" who will grace the Simmonscourt
Pavilion with their airbrushed emptiness: Tyra Banks, Sophie Dahl
and Anna Kournikova (not the virus) are the only names we recognise.
You have to pore pretty closely over the small print of the press
ads to divine that it's the "new Escada Collection" (the who now?)
they're modelling. And in an utterly appropriate and inevitable
partnership, tickets are available from the cultural sewage
treatment system that is Ticketmaster.

IMHO'S PICK: DOWNLOAD..................Transparent and Unaccountable
Given our internet focus and the subversive nature of our scurrilous
publishing agenda, there is only one possible download
recommendation this week. It's the brilliant GHOSTZILLA browser, a
creation of architectural genius which brings office escapism to
heady new heights.
Designed to facilitate inconspicuous worktime browsing, Ghostzilla
sits quietly and invisibly in the background until you summon it
with a special mouse movement. It then adapts itself to your
currently-uppermost application, for example Micro$oft Word, leaving
Word's toolbars intact while showing web pages in a subtle grayed-
out wash in the main window. Images appear in a subdued two-tone
unless you summon them, and the overall effect is to make it look
like you're working exactly as you should be. A casual glance from
your Office Space boss as he paces past your cubicle shouldn't
detect anything that looks like browsing. To think that someone
devoted their life to creating something so wonderfully juvenile!
It's a beautiful thing. Go ghosting at
http://www.ghostzilla.com.
* * * * * * * * *
IMHO'S PICK: INTERNET^HWS................................ON YER BIKE
Roll up, roll up roll up! Segue right this way! Amazon is now
selling the celebrated SEGWAY (aka Ginger, aka IT) online, the hype
of the millennium finally made available to lowly consumers. You're
only four months and five thousands bucks away from participating in
the future of transport, the most fundamental and significant
breakthrough in human evolution since the invention of the leg, the
"spirit that can change the world", etc. etc.

The perfect expression of our post-modern mania for meta-media

"Imagine being able to run a Google-like search on your life," says
one of the prophets of doom behind MyLifeBits, an incredibly Dickian
personalised self-database being developed by - who else? -
Microsoft. By cataloguing every single artifact of your life
history, storing everything in an online repository, you build a
searchable index of every conversation, document, movement, event
and action that you ever generate or perform. It's a continuous
real-time alibi recorder. It's a voluntary submission of every
second of existence to information overload. It's a system that can
show you all the photos you were ever in, tell you exactly how many
phonecalls you've ever made, or retrieve an mpeg of you going to the
toilet in March, 1986:
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99993084
Also: we knew that modern innovation was roaring ahead at a
blistering pace, but can MyLifeBits really allow "time-shifting"?

We Irish are sometimes so uncultured, compared to our continental
cousins - even in things you'd expect us to be good at, like
vandalism. Here we get inarticulate clowns with cans of red paint
daubing "666" on the gates of Cardinal Connell's palatial Drumcondra
residence... whereas in Paris, to pick an example out of the blue,
egghead situationists sneakily attach absurdist plaques (e.g. "On
April 17, 1967, nothing happened here") onto public buildings:

Microsoft have co-opted the AmIHotOrNot concept, as is their wont, mixed
it up with a bit of Miss World, and come up with the 'Microsoft Office v.

LEGACY MEDIA.................There Was Nothing In The Air That Night
IRISH TV: If you rush straight home from work after reading this on
Thursday, you might catch the second semi-final of corny but
challenging elimination quiz IT'S NOT THE ANSWER (RTE1, 17:30).
Come on the beardy guy! The final's on at the same time tomorrow.
Calm down from all that excitement with the laughable one-hour FAIR
CITY murder trial special (RTE1, 20:00) - it's quite brilliant how
the risible scripts really bring out the absolute worst in truly
terrible actors. Settle down with a few G&Ts to watch PRIME TIME on
the same channel at 21:30, where they're discussing Ireland's
alcoholic epidemic and its attendant social problems, or waste them
on either the bottom-scraping POLICE ACADEMY 3 (N2, 21:30) or the
geriatric 1978 blockbuster COMA (TG4, 22:05).
Friday night, and after a hard day of buying nothing you can flop in
front of creepy Hitler doco SIX MOST EVIL MEN (N2, 21:00). Near as
we can tell, the other evil men are Macauley Culkin in UNCLE BUCK
(TV3, 20:00), gossip columnist WINCHELL in a solid eponymous biopic
(N2, 21:30), the big boss bad guy - is it Kang? Kane? Cowen? - in
MORTAL KOMBAT (TG4, 21:25), Mel Gibson in predictable 80s drug
thriller TEQUILA SUNRISE (RTE1, 23:50), and Quentin Tarantino
jumping on his own bandwagon in DESTINY TURNS ON THE RADIO (TV3,
0:50). Hang on, Dave Fanning might be one of the evil men too: he's
presenting THE LAST BROADCAST on Network 2 at 23:35.

B Kobres concedes work of Dr. Rex Curry http://rexcurry.net/wikipedia-lies.html
B Kobres has conceded the historical discoveries of Dr. Rex Curry concerning symbolism under the horrid National Socialist German Workers' Party. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html Even after conceding that the information could not be disputed, B Kobres nevertheless indicated his desire to suppress the information in order to maintain the intellectual errors that Kobres has mistakenly perpetuated in his past. A google post also covers the topic at
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.politics.libertarian/browse_frm/thread/86dd295af96947f6/b4429553f79b3675#b4429553f79b3675
Wikilings do their dirty work anonymously, hiding behind names that do not identify them because they are ashamed to admit who they are and what they do. The practice is so widespread on wikipedia that people like Kobres have inspired and acquired the term ""wikilings"" and ""wikiling writers"" as a reference to their bad behavior. B Kobres deletes valid responses to the personal attacks and kookiness of himself and other ""wikilings""; but, B Kobres does not delete the personal attacks and kookiness of other wikilings who write with him. Kobres protects the personal attacks and kookiness of wikilings who write with him. http://rexcurry.net/wikipedialies.html B Kobres deletes accurate information about the discoveries by Dr. Rex Curry that expose the history of Nazism in the USA. http://rexcurry.net/wikipedia-lies.html Wikilings delete anything, including even links, to accurate information. They delete accurate information that is posted on “discussion” pages, which are supposedly for discussion, but are not. Discussion pages are where wikilings insult people and then delete responses to the insults. Wikipedia is a completely untrustworthy source of information because it enables wikiling administrators to delete accurate information, but also to ban people who post accurate information, in order to prevent accurate information from being re-posted." | toxic | en |

I think this is fairly ridiculous. The fact of the matter is that the word existed and was used before the Runnymede Report. Does that mean I'm debating that the Runnymede Report brought it center stage and made the world more aware. No. Absolutely not. However I think that the purpose of those wanting the Runnymede Report to be the starting point is to attempt to make it appear to be a neologism. I'm sorry but we have definite sources going back to 82 and a possible going back to 76. And realistically we have words that are newer than that which don't face the same scrutiny such as AIDS was also first used in 1982. The fact of the matter is I do believe that usage before the Runnymede Report was rare but most certainly existent and therefore think it should be mentioned in the history of the term.- | toxic | en |

re : coastal deal - with exxon participation under the project
agreement
thanks for the info !
as greg mentioned in the staff meeting today , the intent is that this
restructured deal is papered effective 4 / 1 / 00 . the impact is potentially
that the gas is not pathed properly by counterparty or on the appropriate
transport / gathering agreements , etc . if any rates are changing , then those
need to be changed in our systems also . there may be other areas of changes
also - i ' m not attempting to list them all . rather i just want to make
people aware that retroactive deals can have impacts on the daily operations .
thanks for the information .

impact , if any ? thanks .

subject : coastal deal - with exxon participation under the project agreement
brenda ,
per your request , attached are the draft documents which will be used to
finalize the new gathering arrangment between hpl and coastal , the revenue
sharing arrangement between exxon and hpl ( transaction agreement ) and the
residue gas purchase agreement between coastal , as seller and hpl as buyer
( amendment to wellhead purchase agreeement ) .
i do not have a copy of the processing agreement between exxon and coastal ,
as such agreement does not involve us ( and i believe it is far from
finalized . the only other document that i plan to prepare is a termination
agreement relative to the current liquifiables purchase agreement between
exxon as purchaser and hpl as seller - - this termination will be affective as
of 4 / 1 / 2000 .
if i can be of any further assistance , please let me know .

Please look at the Wikipedia map of Vatican City, where you will see that Rome is on all sides of VC, which really is an enclave. In this map, to the west of VC, is Via Angelo Emo; if you check the location of this road in e.g. Google Earth, you'll find that it is also in Rome. I'm really not sure what other evidence you need to convince you that you and your maps are mistaken. It might relieve you to know that the hill on which the Vatican stands is not one of the original 7 hills of Rome. Does this help? | toxic | en |

*Projects can also be ""initiatives that are physical, very expensive, and public""
If these are your criteria, you should verify that they are satisfied, per WP:V. If this evidence can't easily be obtained, perhaps you could change the criteria.

The chronology here seems a bit confused.

It also does not explain his military career. Was he just appointed as a Commander of the Navy as soon as he joined, or was there some period of time when he held a lower rank? When was he born? Where does he live? Does he have a family? — | toxic | en |

::The new category is irrelevant - it is just a way to do an end-run around the issue. The ""new category"" is essentially just a thinly-veiled redirection to the hate crime article which brings us back to the legal issue. The fact remains that Shepard's attackers were neither charged with, nor convicted of a hate crime. As such it is blatantly deceptive to mention hate crimes in connection with his case. The fact that some people believe that Shepard's attackers SHOULD HAVE been charged with a hate crime is irrelevent. It is their personal opinions and speculation and is not relevant to an encyclopedia article. There isn't even agreement that Shepard was targetted because of his sexuality. First his attackers said he was (evidently as a legal ploy) and then they said he wasn't (when they had no motive to lie). " | toxic | en |

Is a Booley a thing? It sounds idiomatic, but I can't find a trace of it anywhere. What is a Booley? Other articles make reference to a town of Booley. Is there something characteristic of Booley that typifies a particular kind of town? Also, it would be nice to know which of the Great Famines this comment refers to. Sadly, there have been several in Ireland. Maybe a link to the page that covers the famine in question would help here." | toxic | en |

I was told that my addition is being deleted for ""discussing the subject, and not
improving the article"". I AM NOT DISCUSSING THE
ELIGIBILITY/CERTIFICATE/THEORY subject, I AM TALKING ABOUT IMPROVING THE
ARTICLE BY CLARIFYING THAT ENTIRE ISSUE IS A FRAUD ACCORDING TO THE RULES OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR, AS ANY LITERATE PERSON CAN SEE!
As I previously posted here: THE ARTICLE SHOULD BE IMPROVED by making it clear
in the opening statement that the entire issue is a fraud upon the public
since there is no ""natural born citizen"" requirement that is applicable today.
That is fundamental to an informative relevant foundation to the article, not
a matter of opinion, and a matter of grammatical fact.
If I say ""No animal except a mouse, or a rat, at the time I give the signal,
shall be captured"", then I am saying only mice and rats shall be captured AT
THE TIME I GIVE THE SIGNAL. My order has no validity at any other point in
time. Similarly, the requirement for ""natural born citizen"" only applied AT
THE TIME OF THE ADOPTION OF THIS CONSTITUTION. It does not apply today, and
the following clause should be part of the article, since it is the clause at
the foundation of the issue in the article:
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a
Citizen of the United States, at the time of the
Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible
to the Office of President; neither shall any
person be eligible to that Office who shall not
have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and

In another sense, the GTR is in direct opposition to Mach's principle. In Mach's universe, you cannot have a complete description of a body if you do not know the dynamics of everything else in the universe. In contrast, the GTR is a gauge theory which deals with a strictly local field. Fundamentally, it is hopeless to do physics with Mach's principle. The GTR saves the science of physics because you can give a complete description from local observations. In that sense the principle of relativity is a theory ABOUT physics rather than a theory OF physics. | toxic | en |

Timeshifter's dishonesty
Timeshifter, your story above is text-book projection, first rate water-muddying, I grant you, but deceit nonetheless. But this follows the pattern of your edits. Your POV is clear throughout. It's pretty simple: you believe this recent Lancet study is the Truth, and, therefore you have to believe that virtually all other sources are way off. IraqBodyCount is a wild underestimate, ILCS is not ""legitimate"" etc. Basically every edit you've made on all these pages is carefully orchestrated and loaded to lead everyone toward these beliefs. Now you're pissed that I've ever so slightly gotten in the way of your prolific POV-pushing by deleting a miniscule fraction of it, and now you're playing the victim.
Let's put that act aside and look at what I've actually deleted. I've reverted basically three things here:
1. Lancet page - claims about a supposed ""ILCS baseline 2002 mortality rate"". Fabrications do not belong on wiki pages. I deleted that fabrication. The only ""sourced material"" I deleted was stuff about Lancet baseline rates that were cited accurately enough, but only had any relevance to this section because they were being related to the fabrication I was removing. Once the fabricated ""ILCS baseline rate"" is removed, the surrounding ""sourced material"" from Lancet that I deleted no longer has any relevance to the section. It is entirely out of context and so properly removed along with the fabrication. The ""sourced material"" that was there makes no sense being there unless the fabrication is there, so I removed it along with the fabrication.
2. IBC page - I deleted an inaccurate and out of context claim authored by Timeshifter. I added a statement which says IBC showed an example of something, and provided a citation for this. Timeshifter then adds that Lancet authors dispute this claim from IBC, and he puts a footnote onto this, but the footnote leads to quotes by Lancet authors that address something else entirely. Thus, this claim of Timeshifter's is properly removed as it is falsely described as one thing when it is something else, and the citation leads to something that is different than how it's described.
So the first two are just simple falsehoods and fabrications. Apparently it's ""against the rules"" and ""POV-favoring"" to delete POV-pushing falsehoods and fabrications.
3. IBC page - Guatemala study. I've questioned the relevance of this to IBC, and the accuracy of the description, and discussed this on the talk page. This one is at least more debatable than the others, as it is just tangential cherry-picking for a POV, rather than just fabrications and falsehoods for a POV.
Deleting these three things has been my great crime, causing poor Timeshifter so much pain and anguish, yeah right. As I've already said, I can't keep up with Timeshifter's proselytizing for the Lancet study on all these various pages. He's very commited to the cause, as proselytizers tend to be." | toxic | en |

[zzzzteana] White Horse vandalised
http://yorkshirepost.co.uk/ed/front/481722
Pro-hunt activists target top sight
ONE of Yorkshire's most famous sights yesterday became one of the first
targets in bizarre attacks on White Horse landmarks linked to the hunting
debate.
Villagers near Thirsk could not believe their eyes when they woke yesterday
to find the famous White Horse of Kilburn had acquired a rider during the
night.
In another incident, the Uffington white horse in Oxfordshire had a huntsman
and three hounds added to the ancient figure, which is thought to represent
a Celtic god or tribal symbol.
Pro-hunt activists in the Real Countryside Alliance (RCA) � a radical
alternative to the better-known Countryside Alliance � admitted
responsibility last night for targeting the two images.
The 314ft by 228ft landmark at Kilburn has been lovingly preserved since it
was carved in the limestone by schoolmaster John Hodgson and his pupils in
1857.
But during Monday night someone nailed on a massive figure of a huntsman
with a horn � which had been cut to scale out of a single piece of white
carpet. It was removed yesterday by members of Kilburn White Horse
Association, who found a Countryside Alliance badge attached to the carpet.
John Roberts of the association said: "It has obviously been very well
organised. It was a well crafted piece of kit: a figure of a huntsman with a
horn cut out of carpets.
"It was big and impressive and could be seen for miles about. They tied it
to bushes at the top and nailed it down. It caused all the stone chippings
to be pushed downwards, which will help turn the white horse grey. It will
not get another refit for another year.
"Whoever did it must have come with a vehicle � a tractor and trailer or a
lorry � because the carpet must have come in one piece. It was extremely
well planned and took several people an hour and a half to get it off."
The sculpture needs constant work because, unlike chalk horses in the south
of England, it is cut into limestone which is the wrong colour and needs
whitening.
Mr Roberts added: "The damage as such is not great but it adds to the
deterioration, which means it will need more work next time.
"We would have more sympathy if, having made the point, they would come to
take it away again because it was a major job."
Andy Wilson, chief executive of the North York Moors National Park, said:
"It is a scheduled ancient monument and the local residents are very proud
of it and go to enormous trouble to keep it white. There is also careful
consideration of what shape it should be kept with the constant growth of
vegetation so you can understand the alarm and regret at any changes. There
has not been a cut in the turf � which would be much more of a problem. It
would seem it was carefully plotted beforehand."
An RCA spokesman said: "Some people in the country are getting very
frustrated at the inaction. All we want is Ministers to take notice. Marches
don't seem to be doing anything good."
The Countryside Alliance said it did not have any part in the action.
Spokesman Adrian Yelland said: "The Countryside Alliance only ever advocates
campaigning that is lawful and dissociates itself from acts of vandalism and
regrets any damage that may have been caused by this incident."
The incident follows graffiti on road signs and motorway bridges in
Yorkshire thought to be RCA work.
