Wolfgang - I'm under no illusions as to where the 20p you contributed went. My use of the word 'doubtless' was intended to convey the implicit fact that if you bought a product with sectarian content from a pamphleteer, that money went to the cause he or she supported; in the same way that if I buy a Lifeboat sticker on flag day, I expect my contribution to go to the lifeboatmen.

In fact, I'll go further: your purchase of that songbook gives tacit approval to the activities of a sectarian organisation, who have consciously rejected peaceful resolutions in favour of main force.

You will now tell me that the circumstances were entirely different, and you bought it from a one-legged nun who was also peddling an assortment of hookah pipes and copies of the Koran <G>
