Jock - you have just used the phrase 'message board' - this assumes, does it not, that there are messages on it?
Peter, thank you for pointing out that a message board has messages on it. However, I had taken Although we have been a bit concerned lately on TarBoard about the social status of AR's characters, I believe that AR intended to give us a rather different message about the various 'native' families and individuals that we meet in the stories and your subsequent reference Well TarBoarders seem to have derived plenty of sociological 'messages' from AR's text recently! to imply rather more than that.
I assume from you last reply that it doesn't and there I'm happy to let the matter rest.
