Fine - put forward another explanation for the correlation between
lifting footpath bans and the late 2001 appearance of circles in
British crops.

then go to foot and mouth.

2001 has very similar figures for April as 2000 and 2002.

Hmm, 3 in April 2000, 0 in April 2001 and 1 in 2002.

Go to the table I have made in the FMD & Cropcircles thread and see
if you think that there is much statistically between 0 and the
average of 1 & 3. for April, given the May picture over those years.

I addressed it there. So you are saying that there is NO statistical
difference between the years?

Noted the 2001 was by an artist. The comments on the next two are
amusing
"Very amateurish looking" and "Fairly rough looking". Must have been
apprentice aliens trying it out for the first time!

Do the human circle makers improve with experience?

The designs have certainly become more elaborate over the years, so, yes.

As you suggested I do in an earlier post, check the data.
Now I have posted the table.

Which I have addressed.

Go also to the
county news releases on when and where the blanket bans were lifted and
then
have a look at when and where the circles started to appear in 2001.

You might help with that. I already showed
13 May Hampshire -- still in F&M territory.

Not this particular one, no, it was not in a controlled area in Hampshire at
the time.

22 May Dorset

Next to Bournemouth International Airport - where there are no footpaths
needed to access the field, only a main road.

25 May Wiltshire started, but no more for 3 days, then 5 there.

This was below the Pewsey White Horse which also does not require footpath
access as the field is next to a road.

29 May Hertsfordshire

Again, in a field next to the B655 - no footpath access required.

By limiting yourself to a single resource, you're not getting the whole
picture and limit the points of view you can put forward. In counter to
the
cropcircleresearch site http://www.circlemakers.org/ specifically
http://www.circlemakers.org/totc2001.html for their 2001 round up.

Can't get much out of that.

You got your weather argument out of it - unfortunately this disagrees with
your contention that there is NO difference between 2001 and the years
preceding and following it.
