Because you're trying to persuade us that something happened. At the moment
we have "A stagecoach bus deliberately ran me over and the police did
nothing about it". This is a serious allegation, and there's absolutely no
supporting evidence - not even your story. You really need to flesh the
facts behind your story somewhat, otherwise it remains incredible.
I don't mind whether you use your plod report about it, or write a new one.
Or maybe a link to a usenet post where you described the incident when it
first happened. Background on how the plod dealt with the case would be
interesting too. Is the case closed, or are investigations ongoing?

Granted. Not hard, surely?

It's usenet. I might be harvesting information in order to send out a hit on
you. We'll just have to live with that and trust each other.

Take away fsnet, and put in evil-c rather than the x's. I'd prefer to see it
in public though.
