Oops! Sorry, I withdraw all that stuff about 'planets'. In fairness, John, you did say 'tars board', not Tarboard. I think my reaction was Pavlovian, as I imagined the TARS 'Top Brass' was being shot at. Funny how things change - when I first started posting on Tarboard around 1997 I was soon accused of 'sniping at TARS Trustees'!
Now this all goes to show how important typos are, hence my criticisms of 'Jibbooms and Bobstays' (in which fo'c'sle is printed as fo's'sle in the Glossary and as a result is misplaced in alphabetical order).
Dominus vobiscum, John!
