I will add that you do seem to have a tendency to dismiss people's ability/intelligence if you disagree strongly with their opinion. You dismiss my opinion because of my grasp of english (subtext: i'm stupid). You then do it again because i can't be "arsed" (subtext: i'm lazy). Then you dismiss other people for not reading the thread (subtext: stupid and lazy). Give people a bit of credit please.

You are right about my english. It's not the best is it? Me and my reliance on a spell checker is probably to blame, but it's not that i can't be arsed. It's just that i don't have your quality of english, at least in terms of the language, not necessarily about the issues of english identity.

Anyway, i'm off to read "eats, roots and leaves". I think it's about an irate folkie who gets so angry with the show of hands song that he has to consume every copy of it. But i might be wrong.
