I am constantly amazed by how the most pedantic trivia generates the most
passionate debate. Reminds me of C. Northcote Parkinson's 'Law of
Triviality', which says (about boards of managements) that: "The time spent
on any item on the agenda will be in inverse proportion to the sum
involved" (Parkinson's Law or The pursuit of progress - 1957)
have a good weekend,
John
