To which Kakki replied << What's ironic is that I thought I'd conveyed my extremely mixed emotions over the whole situation and did state I didn't know what people should have done regarding their applause. >> To which I can only add "hear hear!" You DID convey your ambivalence and seemed to me to go out of your way to stress that you *weren't* decreeing what people should have done. As I'm sure you're aware Kakki, I disagree with you pretty comprehensively about most things political. Despite, or maybe because of that, I want to say that I totally support you on this issue, in the light of this unseemly sniping, although I'm not sure two people counts as "Kakki bashing" (and I know it wasn't you who used that phrase)- I'm glad to see that several people share this point of view. I also agree with you that Ric owes you an apology. Azeem
