    Platt,
    What chance do I (anyone) stand when adding a word has for you no
    significance to the meaning of a sentence ?

    It would have been more constructive and less aggressive to notice the word
    and ask me the question "why?" rather than launching a diatribe against me.
    I've given up trying to prove on previous occasions that I'm better at
    argumentation than you (or DMB), 'cos I'm not.
    I find myself questioning your motives in arguing, but I simply do not have
    the time.

    Bye.
    Ian G
