lqs - FWIW, I find your comment disappointing, not to mention ungracious and, frankly, implicit of hypocrisy. You suggest at other times that you are concerned to keep the thread clear for proper discussion, but here you are pursuing personal attitudes. This needs to be cut out on both sides if we are to raise the level of BB discussion. I recognise that this comment is itself tending in an unfortunate direction, but think it worth asking you to consider your own influence on the regrettable personal feuding which you purport to abhor.
I wish you a happy new year and also, frankly, everybody else,
Simon
