Captain Birdseye, I do regret my early hasty remark on this thread, as I tried to express before.

This is the Mudcat forum - I am a reasonably long-standing member of Mudcat. I have always used my handle of "Anglo." Many of the other contributors to this thread have handles which do not identify them, I don't know who most of them are either. But I wouldn't go around accusing them of "hiding behind the petticoats of anonymity."

If you're so desperate to know who I am, I'm sure you can find out by searching through some of my Mudcat history for threads where my personal identity was relevant; I have not tried to hide it. I choose not to advertise it, as I'm sure many others here do.

Perhaps you should also search after the personal identity of Scotus - I mean, he was an examiner. For myself, I thought about being a judge, but I didn't have the Latin :-)

But hark! Marje (whom I don't know either) has just appeared as an ally on your campaign. But then she would have you learn about MacColl, Carthy and Collins, rather than, say, Pardon, Elliott and Taylor. Would you have her do the syllabus as she offered?
