Douglas:

Sorry laddie, I did not see the comments on the other thread, and now I think that it is too late to keep that thread going.

Parvinder:

Heh.

Boyo:

That was more to do with the fact he paid no attention to personal hygeine.

Yes, it’s a relief that once in a while we get a decent article to counter the current obsession with the I and M, however infrequent.
