I AM delighted to read Nemesis' description of my reply to him as knee jerk. Clearly I've landed a blow to a vulnerable spot.

I am not at all impressed by his so-called 'facts.' My father could prove that Shakespeare wrote the bible by using snippets of text.

I am however almost tempted to change my mind about a public enquiry despite the vast expense, if only to discover the identity of the mythical councillor Tony Cunningham, who Nemesis seems to imagine started all this.

Mr Yates thinks that if I rely to points raised I am arrogant and if I do not I am secretive. He makes no case to support his assertions. At least he has the courage of his convictions to sign his name and not sulk behind a silly alias.
