Julia,

I certainly wouldnt suggest for a minute that you're a fool. I've now updated the entry to reflect more accurately what I'm trying to get accross, and I'll repeat it here. It's the conceptual model that people like Ian Cooper and myself have issues with, and it's a discussion with him about that exact subject last night that triggered a hastily posted entry.

I won't hide behind the language barrier for the cockups in accuracy, I should make sure the intended recipients don't get the wrong message, and in this instance it has. I apologize heartfully.

Seb
(as for the subtitle, it was left in my comments by someone disagreeing with my views on a pattern. I'm not very good at marketing)
