A very rare, welcomed, combination of events has occurred.

First we have a sensible, concise, well-presented enquiry about
inverted-V's.

And secondly we have a response from Richard (Clark) which combines both his
advanced (never doubted) technical knowledge and his ability (but long
awaited) to express himself in the logical, unambiguous, easy-to-understand
English language.

Makes a change from the deliberately confusing, psychologicially mixed-up
stuff we are accustomed to. Keep up the good work.

But may I say I have learned a lot over the years from your own
how-not-to-do-it mode of expressing yourself.

Richard, please forgive me for being so forthright in public. I'm on
Valencia red this evening. I'm sure you will understand.

Incidentally, I think the English and American languages, after a
generation's lapse, are coming back closer together again. You get rid of
Bush and we'll get rid of Blair.
