Yes, Lawrence Heath must be too creased up to type as he hasn't replied to my question about what he really intended, an email sent because I was getting tired of prefacing all my comments with "of course, I don't know exactly what was in his mind but . . . "
Borfolk is an artistic work and in the absence of explanation of intent from the creator, interpretation is in the imagination of the consumer. Merely solving the anagrams for "fun" is all very well if that's what floats your . . . empty sailing vessel, but scarcely needs "discussion" in any shape or form.
Someone accused me of "getting my frillies in a twist". Firstly I'd like to clarify that my underwear is frill-free. Secondly, that it is ridiculous to get upset because some of us took the subject beyond doing silly puzzles. A paraphrase of Nero's folly comes to mind: 'Anagramming while the tradarts go up in smoke', possibly.
