[Chris Croome]

Hi

Following is the bit I have re-edited, I think this is OK now
(unless I have filled it with spelin mistakes ;-).

I personally don't support any of this stuff (attacks on left or
right wing sites) and the re-written second part of this feature is
far too supportive of actions such as the electrohippy stuff IMHO,
see the email this is a reply to.

Perhaps it's best to just omit it and have a debate on it? Am I in a
monority of one in opposing the electrohippy stuff?
