UPDATE 02-Apr-2015: Please note my comment below in which I provide documentation and links to some recent evidence of Betts’ choice of posting patterns. Of equal interest, IMHO, is dennisambler’s comment in which he highlights some of Betts’ earlier history. I disagree with much of what the environmental movement do – I disagree with them…
