James, I must admit that I consider your posts to carry considerable authority through the years of experience behind them. Your voice, added to the chorus of other authorities posting here, helps make this forum such a valuable information resource.

... I could go on, but hope that I have not trod on too many toes: rather explained why differences arise, and the reason for not of necessity agreeing with the various pundits.
In order to create a well rounded body of information, all points of view should be considered. If everyone agreed all of the time, everyone would already know everything and there would be no need for this forum.

... Having said that I do accept that thinking and fashions change over the years: and I'll just have to remain the only one in step!...

LOL.... by the time I got to the end of your post I was turning blue waiting for another one of your slam-dunks! It's ok... I'm breathing now.
