- Jym, if you think this is only appropriate in talk.environment and
- alt.activism.d then why the heck was your post cross-posted everywhere.

-
- So why didn't you?
-
- I hate to break it to you Jym, but a lot of us feel that
- alt.activism.d and your promotion of it and setting followups to it is
- a way of attempting to get the last word by shunting people to unread
- groups. If you really feel so strongly about it then why don't you
- post there instead of crossposting?

-
- Sure there is. This is political. If you disagree then why did you
- post there?

- Well, this isn't true either, what with nuclear testing and all.

-
- >=o= Ugh yourself. There was no scare-mongering in that release.
-
- What about the part where they compare Sellafield's total release of
- radioactives with Chernobyl's and conveniently forget to mention that
- for Chernobyl they only counted the non-noble gas releases but for
- Sellafield they counted everything?
