Yeah, genuinely brilliant, Derek. Of course, it's up to you which crits you like. But don't forget, anytime someone doesn't validate what you wrote, they weren't the ones you wanted to read it. I vividly recall Harriet using those very words. wink

Is it a bit odd that someone says absolutely zip, zero, nada about your ACTUAL post, but dwells on responses to said post? Kinda how I felt about no comment originally to my offerings, which you later attended to. And I'll concur with you, polished can simply mean cleaned, etc. And "mindless anticipation" well, heck, I googled that just now and there isn't much there, but I'm certain u r correct.
