Sorry if I confused you - it was probably the Chateauneuf talking!
The point I was trying to make though, given the concerns in the thread about more restrictions, is that to argue a technical argument with an average red top reader NIMBY is pretty suicidal. (i.e. the manouevre isn't dangerous, the decision to do it is.) Most of our population judge what is right and wrong by standards that would last nanoseconds in court!
If the NIMBY is smart, they'll likely soon incite others by accusing us of talking 'weasel words' and spinning the case and, per Chomsky's famous statement that 'he did believe that there was a holocaust', an argument that shouldn't exist is made possible.
And it is these type of people who just want to get on with their own lives ... but can become the vox pox who galvanise the local MP, who know how to play the game etc etc.
I guess my point is that some things are best avoided and in this instance mutual common sense is the way forward, since we will all suffer if there are many more incidents like NW.
