Sorry, Jim McL -- can't see what brought that on at all. Jim C has been accusing me of evading his questions, has been confusing cause & effect, and generally, as I see it, muddying the issue. What on earth is so 'bitchy' 'personal' or 'patronising' in pointing out that this is my perception of his arguments?

Anyhow, I have no doubt that Jim C would feel well able to fight his own corner, without feeling any need for you to rush to his defence since you seem to consider him incapable of answering for himself.

Who is being 'patronising'?, and to whom?, I would beg you to consider.

Thank you for your affection, which is reciprocated. But I still can't see where you consider me to have demonstrated any symptoms of mental instability.

Regards
