I READ Leo Enticknap's letter about population control (Too many people, September 26) with total disbelief.

I was waiting all the way through for the punch line which never came, so sure was I that it was a wind-up response to Heather Causnett's letter advocating state castration (End the handouts, September 22).

God help us all if people like him ever gain any influence.
