You may well be right, Richard, but we don't know how long listees have
been on-list for. And why should we have to know, anyway? Are we meant to
keep running egg-timers for each member and judge when we can get the
stick out? Anyway, I've already had the stick administered to me on my
previous post off-list (won't be the last, I'm sure), so I'll retire now
and let others make their contribution.

Whereever you go and whatever you do, just remember this. No matter how
many like you, admire you, love you or adore you, the number of people
turning up to your funeral will be largely determined by local weather
conditions.
