""I was responding to something Don Firth had said about GfS being pompous...and to his remarks about how to identify "a duck".""

LH you are really having a BAD day. Wrong again, mate.


The "pompous" was Don Firth.

The "duck" WAS mine, and in response to your "still might be dead wrong", NO, not really, having looked at all the other attributes so openly displayed, I think I am more than safe in saying that the plumage and webbed feet DO rather clinch the argument.

When it comes down to it, this particular duck has been parading for some time with a sandwich board giving all the dentifying details.
