I think your message is (partly) aimed at me. I admit that my message in reply to Andy Bolger should really have been posted on Club Hut, but the message I was replying to was on Tarboard and as it was on an old thread I thought it would be pointless to try to relocate the debate.
Re 'sniping at new-world usage' - if you mean my mock Ransome dialogue, then that was meant as a joke. If it offended you then I apologise, but it is a limited apology, because I get an impression of prickliness in many of the messages coming from the US. What is it with you over there?
