Straw man is right, that's what I meant to convey by -apodosis- - the set up is assumed to be conditional and the first condition assumed, ie that (for the yet again LPs) there's a big mainstream windscreen in the sky, or (for those opposed) that there's some kind of a marching band. Need there be. By the way, what -is- the current qualification for the post of 'Cambridge' poet? Is Riley one really? Did I spell Worzel (Wurzel?) correctly? Regards to all, k (from Cambridge II, steps of the Woodward Trial - that must've been large news back home? Just as the newer verdict was given, a satellite link here was supposed to broadcast the decision across the nation (world?) via e-mail/internet; the connection blew, somehow, just beforehand; the link-up failure was AS BIG news, on our local station, as the verdict. Give it three or four years, it'll be trial by some kind of post-Mario, hop 'n' splat arcade game) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
