jeff,
I'm working on a change of attitude; perhaps 'fastuous gump' fits you better?! [note interrobang, suggestive of rhetorical question]
regards,
mike

Just to let you know that there are now more than 30 postings on this subject. I'm getting a sense that it is becoming more like a soap opera than a television drama serial. A drama serial has a beginning a middle and an end. A soap opera just keeps going on and on ... and on ... and on.
I have ignored previous calls to stop posting on as I think we have now entered a new stage - where people ramble on forever about things which are increasingly irrelevant to the original subject (just like a soap opera).
We now must surely hold the record of the largest number of postings on this site, so feel free to carry on and on ... and on ... and on ...

jo says we've become "increasingly irrelevant to the original subject".
three (3) responses leap to mind:
1) your point being?
ii) I beg to differ!
c) can't you see the irony?!
...most of these, perforce, are irrelevant to the original subject.

Do I see the irony? Is the Pope a Catholic?

The failure of all the experts to have the last word here is due to the inherent circularity of the original subject.

If I mention the branch of chemistry concerned with the fermentation processes in brewing is that the last word?

you should at least be on the last page! ( zymurgy is currently the last word in my wwftd dictionary, but I have considered zythum (from zythos, a Latin word for beer). http://members.aol.com/tsuwm/

Oh, my gosh, I have laughed for the last five minutes!!
I had sort of hoped my hint NUMERO-SO postings ago might
give everyone paws for thought, but several had to keep
digging, I see. I wondered how long it would be till others noticed the irony of the excess number of beg-the-question responses! Jo, this is definitely getting sudsier by the posting! At least the soap can wash away the dirt
dug up w/ our paws so this doesn't become a festering wound!
