Tim, I've enjoyed reading the exchange. It's Monday morning here.
Given the amount of INTENSE curiosity about you the person, it's been
extremely interesting to read so much "personal" Tim. (In my eyes, you
are a near saint in the way you pastoral care this list.) I often
wondered how you could be patience personified.
I rejoined the list some time ago and came upon Scottie. My confession -
he sounded so much like my very favourite therapist that I thought they
were the same person. I hear Paul when I read Scottie. And they both
have that very English way of being so all knowing whilst simultaneously
being so tongue in cheek. 
I don't think you could have possibly offended Scottie.
Now go and take the dogs for a walk.

Love, Lesley P.
