Thanks, Diane, for posting that in the first place. I found the article quite enlightening, and I thought it cleared up a lot of the muddle. I also thought that it gave a good object lesson in how a basically good idea gets taken up by self-appointed "folk police" who haven't grasped the reasons for and limitations of the idea, and try to impose it in all cases and on all occasions.

May the gods preserve us from shallow-thinking fanatics!!
