    People who complained about the detectors on the beach leaving open holes, getting too close to beach bathers etc. as always the gear that squeaks the loudest will get the grease! So it is important that our rights are represented as well. Hopefully there are more of us for than those opposed, although I'm not really sure there is? But we have to try!

    That happens with any petitions. I just block the sender and they go away after a while. But some of it is other important issues, but most of it is political spam
