True, but I read what I believe he meant. It's called 'thinking about what you read, and not just blindly taking it literally'. To suggest that all settled people are thieves and spreaders of rubbish is clearly ludicrous, I can't imagine any contributor to this forum seriously putting it forward as a fact.

And it never occurred to me that McG might be referring to me - I've said nothing that would get the thread closed, so why should he?
