It's not excuses. I think you jumped on the defensive too quickly. I don't know, so I'm throwing something out there.
Bearing in mind this paper was only published 2 years ago, suggests further research is ongoing.

But there's a wee something else in there that I know you didn't miss.

I don't.

Then what was the point of the link you posted - http://eprints.staffs.ac.uk/4774/ - hadn't you bothered to read it?

Bless you, always thinking superficially. We do need people like you; thinking in simple terms.
Keep up the excellent posts.

Go on, delete the bits you don't like........

For many years vegetation growth has been used as an indicator of clandestine grave sites and to that end many studies have been carried out re nutrients in the surrounding soil.  I believe it is why aerial surveys are undertaken when a body is being looked for.

This was posted on the ZAMPO thread but probably more relevent posted here.  No-one seems to be interested in Zampo no more if they ever were in the first instance.  I am still mightily puzzled why it was opened and then ignored, but there you are ...

The Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission closed David Gilroy’s case for a miscarriage of justice part of the basis for which was as follows ...

One strand was fully and professionally examined by the SCCRC.
They concluded that the evidence given by the dog handler was unreliable.
They say that evidence should not have been before the trial court.
However, they also say that the absence of the dog evidence would not have changed the guilty verdict.

I am sorry if I started a topic that nobody had any interest in the first instance. I thought, try a topic that hadn’t been raised before see what happens. The first reply wasn’t about Zampo but about the training in general of dogs and that’s the way the discussion went. I can do nothing about that.

I do find it harsh that as probably the newest member here I am being passively criticised by a Senior Moderator for starting a topic of no interest and then not being able to keep it on topic.

I will certainly think twice about starting a new topic again. 

Boy, this place is hard to like sometimes.

Any Topic I start descends into Insults and Punch Ups so try not to take it too personally.
