It looks like it would be an interesting article but when I click to read it, a pesky pop up appears wanting my details and obscuring the article. Is that just me, or others as well?

Just checked it Geoff. April (IdeaSpies Agriculture Editor) describes the idea well in 100 words and you can click off the popup in the link. Hopefully that works for you.

The X to close the pop up is hidden behind the web browsing bar on my phone so at this minute I cannot close the pop up, but I will see if there is a setting that will hide the bar.

as for the article, you are correct, April’s 100 word precis is the perfect summary of the idea.
