Well, thanks. I thought it was a personal vendetta, but didn't want to add

but I seem constitutionally unable to withstand them without response for
longer than about 30-50 irksome posts. (Though I am doing better.)

English law (guilty until proven innocent)
this is entirely false (unless you're being tried by a Murdoch

I should have added, my wife lived in Australian for many years. Her mum,
dad, a brother and sister still live in Wollongong. I met her in England 25
years ago, and been married 24 years. She was born in Victoria on Vancouver
Island, so that's one of the reasons we emigrated to BC 2 1/2 years
