It is the knowledge that the only reason that posters are here, rather than on another site, is a shared interest that makes ALL topics (potentially) interesting

That is a really good way of putting it - I hadn't looked at it that way before. At last someone has enabled me to understand what has previously been quite incomprehensible. What Mark means (I think) is that the fact that we are all AR fans creates a sort of bond which permeates through to anything we wish to discuss, whether AR-related or not. I think this is a little bit idealistic, but all the same it is convincing.

On the other hand, Ian said earlier today "feel free to discuss whatever Ransome related matters float your boat". Note the limitation "Ransome related", which lands me back in the mists of bafflement. How do we define Ransome related? Where are the boundaries drawn? Are there any?

Whatever the answer is, I have said what I want to say and will post no more on this. My thanks to Peter Ceresole and Mark Dudley.
