Don't bother too much, and I typoed: "you do *not* want"
Thanks for the response anyway.

I have heard many horror stories from the Angola. I was called up for  
military service after the Angolan war. If I was older, things might have  
been a bit different for me.

I'm guessing that you are younger than James, Thomas, Stephen and me.

No problem, but I'm not that young any more. I could have served my 
military time while Thatcher was still in place. Just delayed it for a 
bit of study (and my country is the other side of the channel).

Previously, in centuries rather in years, crusade-fighters would turn to 
monastery and become monks. I believe a part of the cause was the same 
lack of words.

A bit of Shakespeare (Macbeth): "it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."


Be kind to your neighbours, and do not try to rule further than your 
doorstep.
