Hmmmm, eduni.vicars.tea.party is just getting so *rude* these days.
Everyone was always so polite in the EMAS days :-)

Anyway, you clearly weren't paying much attention. If I weren't a victim
of domestic violence, you might have some justification for your
implication that I should stop "talking out of my arse" about it *IF* it
weren't the case that my money is being used for inane attempts to raise
our conciousness about the problem.

An arrangement can clearly be reached here: I'll shut up about the
problem if people quit trying to raise my conciousness about it with
inane poster campaigns conducted at *my* expense.

Can't say fairer than that.

>It's easy to back this up by analysing the traffic over the past few days.

Really? Can you find a post of mine that indicates that I'm unaffected
by domestic violence?

>A (possibly valid) complaint would be that I'm in the 95% ...

You said it.
