|Well, Bruce, there's one pattern I keep seeing though. Anyone you

	That is quite correct, I have deliberately not done so.
	I try to walk & chew gum at the same time, but the need
	for attention to detail can limit the amount of
	multitasking in order to deal with things as effectively
	as possible.

	You are as welcome to question my motives as you
	like, but I might suggest that you try to take
	a more constructive view of my (& perhaps others)
	words in order to find your way to a better
	understanding of why I care.

	Of *some* others' posts.  And I would point out
	that complaints & criticism seem to me to be far
	more even-handed than an arbitrary set of rules
	which require a police-like role in order to enforce.
	I'm not enforcing, I'm exhorting - that's not the same
	thing at all because it requires no power relation.
