IATP's "biotech-activists" list has for some time been plagued by numerous pro-GE postings, sometimes in the form of fake articles etc, often sent anonymously from the adde "[email protected]". The following on the Aussie CSIRO scientist behind "realkids", and his various other enthusiasms, was posted to "biotech-activists" by Andy Zimmerman in response to a complaint from another subscriber, Robert Anderson.

Interestingly, posters of dodgy pro-GE pieces to the "biotech-activists" list seem to hunt in pairs and it is widely rumoured that realkids' other half in this regard, an Alice Webster, is also based in Oz. Alice, it is said, is none other than extreme GE enthusiast and Australian biotech regulator(!), Dr Rick Roush of the University of Adelaide. Exactly why Dr Roush should prefer to sign his e-mails "Alice" is not entirely clear.

NGIN subscribers may also remember how a little while back another CSIRO scientist and GE enthusiast, Dr Malcolm Livingstone, became extremely exercised in response to a passing reference made by Devinder Sharma to the US's ever burgeoning pornography industry. Dr Livingstone's heated response was, "I couldn't give a rat's arse whether you like pornography or not... America doesn't have pornography they have free speech."

Is there a pattern here? I think we should be told.
