I had hoped to draw a line under my recent disagreement with Peter Fogg:
but now Frank Reed has intervened (as he's perfectky entitled to do).

He wrote-

>A useful litmus test: if you find that you must begin a post with a 'non  mea

Frank offers us such nuggets of his homespun philosophy, and we should be
appropriately grateful.

I wrote-

His reply was the dismissive-

Well, we weren't discussing "pretty much everything", we were discussing
one particular phrase, of which I had failed to understand the intention
because of the way it had been expressed. If Frank has relevant opinions to
offer about that particular matter, they will indeed be welcome.
