Ah you and I are old enough and ugly enough to cope. We can shrug off the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune (damn I want an outrageous fortune!), but our younger friends are unusued to it.
We will do it, in due course. Just not right now, I think

We will achieve it. I am determined to make it happen. Just not quite yet. We have to prove we can behave well first 
Thank you, too, for the decent analysis of why it actually works. There are times when rhythm is important and precision of grammar must take second place to it. At other times that must not happen.

Now the heat has gone out of this, I would like to mention that I feel many things in this thread were not appropriate. This was one such post. I did not challenge any unpleasing post at the time.
I am not really singling this one out, I oculd have chosen any on either side of the discussion.

Greetings Boss
Should I read something into the juxtaposition of this item?
If you haven't heard it, there is a physical law called 'Rutlust's law on conversation' (actually the Rutlust is a substitution for my actual name, but the law is the same. It states:
'When three people or more are involved in a conversation, pick a point, any point, and the conversation will degenerate from there.' It is 100% accurate in flesh and blood, and so far holds in ALL of my internet dealings.
Regards-
Simon

... whether the post was aimed at Nigel (as the positioning convention would suggest) or at me (as the heading would suggest). In either case, I'm not sure that it was helpful. I don't want to fall out with anyone, but - I continue to assert - the purest morality is to seek the greatest good of the greatest number, and sometimes that means grasping nettles!
For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,

Shall brithers be, for a' that.
