Hi Owen

Sorry to disagree, but due to limited time and resources, I will not be
looking at carbofuran or other pesticides for next year.

Perhaps you would like to look at wilderness issues so we can resolve
those, then I might have time....

Or perhaps we should recognize 'to each their own' and concentrate our
energies on those who aren't helping any aspect of the environmental
issue?

Colin
