>it can only lead to mass confusion.

this can mean one of three only things:
a) chaoS (multiple units of the sacred chao)
b) liturgy in the original Latin
C) the web page for the pop group Mass Confusion (massConfusion... or MassConfusion... )

I would therefore like to suggest sellotype (or SelloType if you prefer).

FWLIW, I like sellotype! It seems very apt, one of that rare breed, an elegant neologism. Well done!

Maverick, "Sellotyped" is exactly the mot juste!

Glad you approve, Hilary.
OK, I don't know if this should be in another string, but what is this (verb?) to sart? Suggestions, please!
