Many thanks everyone for the wonderful range of  suggestions  about how 
to manage  my aggressive raccoon!
I decided to adopt the KISS principle and start with my trusty Woolco 
water-blaster gun, working up from there only as necessary (it made not 
the slightest difference!) - but, as it happens I have just tried 
Suzanne's suggestion _before_ reading her E-mail - and very much to my 
surprise, as I threw down several handfuls of seeds prior to removing 
the feeders for the night the raccoon gave only a few halfhearted growls 
and settled down quietly to eat the seeds, leaving me to remove the 
feeders in peace - it is still munching away as I write.
It's too soon to tell if this simple approach will really work over the 
long term - I will keep you posted!
