OK, so maybe I do feel somewhat insulted...
I'm sorry you feel that way. (I've sided with the pragmatists in this thread, but on this issue I'm a purist at heart.)
As I said elsewhere that was a lame attempt at a joke. My apologies. No-one has been anything but helpful in this thread, I was just reacting (a little) to the occasional characterisation I've noticed of people as "lazy" - your term "pragmatists" is much less emotive. (And it wasn't so much a personal reaction anyway, just an awareness that we need to be careful how we express things to people struggling with this) Paul.
