Yes, mountain bikers are indeed "special" -- as in Special Olympics.

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to humans ("pure habitat"). Want to

Chill out, John. It wasn't a particulary big post and hardly worth the time to <snip>. Anyway,
before getting uptight and complaining about newsgroup ettiquite, I suggest that YOU read up on the
use and ettiquite of using all capitals in a post.

Peace,

The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give
an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

No worries, most people have a bit of tussle with MV when they first turn up (myself included), but
then most realise that it's absolutely futile arguing with an irrational, illogical nutcase. Some
can't let go, but we do at least try and educate the newer members.

you lot are so incapable of beating anyone at their own game that you have to invent your own ;-)

YOU are the only Special Olympics Contestant here, Mike. You are like the Strawman in The Wiz of Oz,
always looking for a brain.

Mike, why do you insist on cross-posting topics in ca.environment that are actively taking place on
other boards? This practice is 1.) rude and 2.) stupid.

Mike?

Why do you use elementary playground school responses. Maybe "someone" could invent an
alt.name.calling group for you.

By all means air a view...but a grown man name calling! Please.

Simon...... worried about environmental damage caused by protesters using too much paper )
