I found all those posts in the recycle bin. No idea who put them there -- not me -- but they are too thoughtful to remain there.

So I've put them in a separate thread.

I found some of the replies either not concerned with the topic,repetitive or rhetoric and preferred to trim down off my topic. No offense meant. Good luck with a new topic.

Thanks Albalaha.


I do understand your decision and the boundaries sometimes do need to be maintained. You know my M/O by now and the change of scale/ context is a deliberate device to see afresh but my contemporary attack on the international fracking scandal might just be seen to be going a little too far (lol).  Nevermind the Editor of our morning paper did receive a concise version anyway (lol).


As a matter of protocol , for the five members who were edited, perhaps a little note, PM, or editorial explanation would have saved the concern.


Kind regards XXVV

Fracking, wait until they destroy the water supply in the UK in chase of petro dollars.  We will end importing it from NZ's South Island &^%^"#'s

We have indeed a surplus and I have considered a pipeline to our cousins across the ditch. To extend to UK could be negotiable.

I thought the debate to be over with nice inputs from a few of us and locked the debate for the sake of brevity and conciseness.


Best of luck to all of you for further debates.
