Alternatively, WLD, some of us bothered to find out what we were actually doing while others went off on pop music.

I do however have a problem with the meretricious who assume that particular virtuosity (and in some cases gratuitous philological exhibitionism) supersedes meaning.

By all means innovate, and interpret afresh. But bear in mind that this should be an accretion to the tradition, not its supercession, otherwise there is no tradition and we all become rootless.

BTW Diane, how come I never come across those who come in from Tesco all hot, even if they are cross too?
