             Yes, glad you stopped this -- I was sent it too, and decided to

     well understand your unhappiness at our running the other piece. But we
     are constantly being savaged by the loonies for not giving them any
     coverage at all, especially as you say with the COP in the offing, and
     being the objective impartial (ho ho) BBC that we are, there is an
     expectation in some quarters that we will every now and then let them
     say something. I hope though that the weight of our coverage makes it
     clear that we think they are talking through their hats.
