   My first reaction in 1990/91 was to assume that if I broke contact then   
   they would not be able to follow and would lose interest. So I did the   
   things that have been suggested by other people; I sold my television,   
   stopped listening to the radio and tried to withdraw away from the sources   
   of abuse as much as possible. I reasoned that they must have more important   
   things to deal with and that normal people would simply leave me alone if   
   it were made difficult for them to continue their harassment.   
      
   I reckoned without the sheer vindictiveness of the abusers. They did not   
   let up but instead "got to" people around me, mainly people at work, to do   
   their dirty work for them. I went to see my GP, who refused to believe what   
   he was being told, and refused to direct me on to anyone who could be of   
   practical assistance. It was not until three years had passed that the GP   
   admitted the matter was outside his competence and suggested going to the   
   police.   
      
   In the summer of 1994 we called in counter-surveillance experts from a   
   private detective agency to sweep our house and telephone for bugging   
   devices. They conducted a thorough search and found nothing; but as noted   
   above, since the existence of surveillance was being forced in my face by   
   the harassers, you would expect them to have taken the possibility of a   
   counter-surveillance sweep into account when planning the type of devices   
   to be employed.   
      
   In Easter 1995 I made a complaint to my local Police station in London, but   
   the police have not expressed any intention to do anything about the   
   continuing harassment ("we're not saying it's happening and we're not   
   saying it isn't happening" were the words used). I think the officer I   
   spoke to at Easter wasn't aware of it happening, although other members of   
   the police force obviously do know.   
      
   From April 1995 until the present time the matter has been discussed in a   
   lot of detail on the Usenet (Internet) "uk.misc" newsgroup. That discussion   
   has given birth to the article which you are now reading. My hopes in   
   posting to Usenet were that wider publicizing would discourage the security   
   services from continuing their harassment, and "draw people out" into   
   concurring with the truth of what was being said. Neither of those have   
   followed, but the discussion has served a purpose in allowing this   
   structured report to be created.
