I do! Indeed, I think it was you who explained it. You must admit
though, bts, I've not in any way tried to /obscure/ my identity, like
some folk posting here.

That is very unfair and not entirely true.

With the exception of the posting entity, Peter Foldes (a really nasty
piece of work - using his own words).

civil dialogue, even if a point of view is diametrically opposed, then
maybe they shouldn't be using Usenet groups at all.
