John MacKenzie, I too found the "moderators" remark a bit odd. But then I find Mudcat is sometimes inconsistent with regard to its own policy regarding anymous guests. Why the "moderator challenged my accidental guest posting in such a public way is a mystery. I was going to ask why, but was sure I would not have gotten an answer.
   As to the subject at hand. I find that very few people are totally left or right. Most seem to be somewhat in the middle.
