Dear Mr M

I think you have to be careful with your third definition there

Migration is also due to political persecution, which has nothing to do with animals or nomads

Hello, Dave. My intention was to be careful – that's why I said 'usually' – so I don't need to be cautioned. If you have something to add to a thread, you are welcome to do so.
