Well, this has been some day!
 As a result of my posting I have received some interesting, to say the 
least, responses.
Unfortunately, some of those responses have made unpleasant reading. More 
fool me for thinking I could have a reasonable discussion about such a topic 
on this forum .
 I don't want to add to the detritus other than to point out to those people 
who may be having difficulty understanding what I have previously written in 
plain, simple English:
- no where in my posting or anywhere else have I said I agree with Miranda 
Devine;
- no where have I said that anyone should accept as truth what Miranda 
Devine has written;
- no where have I said that every one should not read what Miranda Devine 
has written;
- no where have I said that I object to other people having a different 
opinion to mine;
- no where have I said that anyone or everyone should have the same opinion 
as mine;
- no where have I said that I favour prescribed burning;
- no where have I said I don't favour prescribed burning;
- no where have I expressed an opinion on prescribed burning;
 - no where have I said that greenies are to blame for the fire disaster of 
Black Saturday;
- no where have I said anyone is to blame for the fire disaster of Black 
Saturday;
- no where have I claimed to know anything about bush-fires, prescribed 
burning, the dangers of living in fire-prone areas.
Anyone who claims the contrary is simply being mischievous.
 What I have said is that I believe people should listen to all of the 
arguments and points of view before rushing into a hasty conclusion.
If people don't want to do that, then that is their problem.
I have no more to say on this subject on this forum.
