John, I'm not sure how you managed this but it is not my quote. I happen to agree with you when it comes to Ray Mears, it is irrelevant that he has no formal qualifications because he has shown that it is his experience that counts. He has so obviously been 'out there' watching the animals.

I'm not sure either. Sorry for the misattribution!

If you actually click on the "quote" icon, it would work Your word "quote" is in all lower case plus you are not inserting the proper brackets when you type it yourself

I hadn't been doing anything different than what I had been doing for the last six years and it only seemed to be an effect on this thread. Let us see how this reply appears.

Note on edit: everything seems to be working OK again now.
