Thanks Mike. I went puce with embarrassment when I got JTM's reply. Loved
your post though. I'd never heard the saying about the shorn lamb before it
came up in a book I was reading over Christmas. It's become a bit of a joke
between me and mine since.

Hmm. Only a couple of days since the 'charter' was sent out
for:- Newsgroups: uk.rec.gardening outlining what to do
about pictures

I wonder if the charter says anything about bearing false witness as
to the messages of fellow-posters...but there's something about it in
the book of Exodus, I imagine.

Meanwhile, it wouldn't hurt to temper your wind to the shorn lamb: the
OP's new here.
