[Parametrics]

did you move to this area and think its a nice place to live? do you not feel any empathy for the ecosystem that your house partly if not entirely displaced?

 

if i was your TO i would meet your view halfway, and acept the long term fell option, BUT like you standing firm on your YOUR view on the fell, would maintain MY view that YOU must replace with what existed before:biggrin:

If it was you intention to show that a meaningful reduction of a Scots like that is possible (as earlier claimed) I don't think you succeeded. Capiche?
