An interesting comment, Richard.

You say that you hold Mr Lipman "in the highest esteem". Tell me why! Do
you know who he is and by whom he is employed?

AFAICT - he's just another unknown entity posting on Usenet. You
obviously trust his word - but how can others *really* know the truth?

If he was a *real* professional, he'd check his spelling before he hit
the send key! ;-)

Regards,

Dave

I won't be drawn into this one too much !  ...other than to say,

"AFAICT - he's just another unknown entity posting on Usenet," so what !
I've always been impressed by my sixth sense, (modesty completely aside for 
a few seconds), and its' rarely ever proved me wrong.
Regarding your other peculiar observations / questions :-
Your perpesctive on the "the truth" seems to be a unique, (and abnormally 
persistent and unperceptive), point of view !
"spelling" ....well, ...we all "typo" now and again, it's usually blatantly 
obvious what the intended letter or word was from the context, (context 
means "surrounding text" - in case you don't know what "context" means), and 
to negatively comment on other peoples spelling, esp. when there is an 
obvious typo, is bit pathetic to say the least.

regards, Richard

ps ...please don't waste any more breath on the topic, if you have 
sufficient intellect, you'll agree that your points have been fully 
addressed.  Pusuence of my response would simply be indication that you 
simply cannot, or choose not, understand what you're reading !
