Hi Paul.
You will see that I bowed out of the discussion after I could see that it was going to be taken along the roads you are talking about. I concluded it with this link http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/pages/our-hobbys-detractors.html
I think I could say I was also polite in my debate and had no "snide" comments.
The main subject of the debate was the PAS system... then what the PAS database and UKDFD database record... which eventually was turned to metal detecting.
If you look at it from the point of view that one man can constantly attack and try to downgrade work and efforts that are being made in both sides of the "Guardian" reading and "Daily Mail" camps. there are only three metal detectorists that speak out on that list against this false propaganda.
I myself read the "Times" & "Financial Times".
But the "Times they Are A Changing" and I wish a few would acknowledge that instead of dragging up old articles from ten years ago to support their outrageous statistics.
