redistribute what and where, AB? If you mean commas in your posting, alas, Tarbie postings are 'read only' and not just for Christmas. BTW, as you would say (incidentally it took me ages to work out that BLT sandwiches in delis meant 'bacon, lettuce & tomato' (note comma arrangement)) . . . where was I? Oh yes, in Rod Liddle's review of ESAL, which I mentioned, there was no punctuation and he listed all the missing commas etc at the end - 5 lines of them. A proofreader's night mare.
BTW again, an old editor in my publishing firm always used to say 'commas should be used only in pairs'.
