I'm sorry, did I miss the point where somebody (other than you it seems) 
had a problem with the tone of my reply? As far as I can see the only 
complaints were about the (unacceptable IMHO) behaviour of chilly in his 
off list reply.

Yes, my initial sentence about this having been discussed to death 
before may have been a bit short I guess, but the vast majority of my 
email was explainging the rationale behind the tagging.
