If you mean that I am not the type that sits here every day reading each and
every post that appears in each and every newsgroup that I subscribe to
then... Spot On! Life's too short and I'm too busy. If a thread doesn't
interest me I skip over it or, at best, skim it. This is maybe why I have
not noticed Mr. Parry (perhaps he needs a more memorable tag). The SoGA and
DSR stuff has been done to death so many times and never been resolved the
subject has me reaching for the 'Ignore thread' key. Trouble is so many
threads start out as one thing and then degenerate back into the same old
debate - still never to be resolved. If Mr. Parry has the authority and case
evidence to put it to bed for one and all then all to the good. I really do
doubt that though. Even what he says would indicate that each case would
have to go to court and be decided on afresh each time as no previous action
would have any bearing on a new case. So making a statement such as 'If you
are this, and you do that, this will happen' is not one you would be able to
support.
