Martyn and Tweeters,

Please note that hunting, pro or con, is a subject which is
prohibited, or at least strongly discouraged, on TWEETERS. (Please
refer to the TWEETERS guidelines at
http://www.scn.org/earth/tweeters/guidelines.html .)


Many of us do not share your views. Past discussions of hunting on
TWEETERS have become acrimonious at times. In future, please keep
opinions such as those expressed below to yourself.
